I was cruising RevTT looking for IP to steal from my previous employer. Yeah, like I’m going to give them the severance back by spending it on their shitty games. Sifting through the comments on a RA3 torrent to make sure it didn’t have [additional] malware bundled in, these tickled my fancy:

Clean sweep on all releases this week!

Translation: The crackers who “liberated” this game also got every other game released that week. Typically when you add anti-user code to game it’s meant to deter crackers for between two weeks and a month — long enough that people get bored and just buy the disc.

But the giant fucking joke is that it’s always added at the last second by an engineer with ten thousand other more visible tasks. Safedisc usually only takes the experienced hobbyist cracker a couple hours, at most, to unwind. Cricket 2005, for example, was free online before it officially hit stores.

A little pause in my diatribe — I could just be high on Red Bull, but that video FUCKING RULES. EA’s game designers should get the marketing department to give them a lesson in fun. And yeah, the Russians are my favorite team. What can I say? I have a thing for Slavic chicks and retarded-strong tanks. Okay, back to the comments:

ALL HAIL PIRACY!

’nuff said.

The female form, beauty itself. The game is pretty tits too, if you leave out the fucking interface design, which EA always botches. Otherwise it’s a fairly well-done RTS.
