Moved to "Comments to SUBSIM Review".
Itīs none of our business what you do with your copy of SH3 at home. But this is a private forum and there are forum rules. And they make perfect sense!
Over the years Neal has built up very good relationships to numerous developers and publishers. They know that Subsim is a reputable forum, they know that there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding cracks, they trust Neal and the forum. This has advantages for the whole community. They listen to our feedback, and Neal gets feedback from them.
It would seriously harm those relationships if Neal would allow people to posts links to cracks. He will never allow that, not without a written permission of the publishers.
If you now say "Hey, I didnīt even say that it should be allowed to post links to cracks" please donīt forget that basically every time someone even mentions a crack thereīs the question "Where can I get it?", or this person will contact the poster via PM. Do we know what he will do with the crack? No. Perhaps heīll then makes copies of SH3 for his friends after he got the crack. Perhaps not. That alone is reason enough not to allow this.
So in conclusion: Donīt discuss cracks here. Please.
