Cracking a game you already bought.

Hi All.

I bought It Takes Two through Steam a while ago but only got around to installing it recently. I now realise it uses EA's launcher which is a big piece of shit. Add is some issues linking my EA account to my Steam account and I'm done with it.

It's been a while since I pirated any games, it used to just involve a key gen or copying a few modified files into the right directories.

These days I see whole 'repacks' from fit girls and skid rows.

Is there anything I can do with the game I've already downloaded or do I need to download a repack from someone?

Thanks In Advance.

I do miss the days when you could just download a keygen and get something licensed. Nowadays most keygens are just virus/malware installation packages unfortunately, with a few exceptions. To be honest it's probably easier and safer to just use one of the repacks from a trusted source since they are 'precracked' and that work has been done for you.

Cracking my legitimate copy of StarCraft just so I could play the game without the CD was how I started my piracy adventure.

Something interesting I discovered about StarCraft back in Highschool, all CDs can be bypassed with a CD Key of all 3s. Like just 3333333333333333333333

About to go buy a StarCraft CD just so I can try this because that’s hilarious.
