The difference is a movie doesn’t communicate with the studio’s computers every time you watch it…
Like, this happened so fast, that everyone that was signed on was either a whitelisted review account, or a pirate.
It was/is incredibly easy for them to “hardware ban” everyone who pirated the game already, what’s really fucked is a nonzero amount of people pirating it, have already paid for a legit copy. And may have thought using a new steam account would be fine, then got their whole PC/console banned.
Like, there’s a good amount of people with no critical thinking who just lost the entire 3-5 year life cycle of a game they’d legitimately paid for already. If they want to play the game, they need to dive deeper into piracy or get a new PC/console.
It’s a fucking shitshow.
But anyways, people shouldn’t conflate downloading a movie to downloading a game. There’s a lot more consequences to downloading a game, especially if it can do multiplayer.
After the game releases tho…
Yeah, I had already heard that the way Forza works pirates can use multiplayer and are indistinguishable from paying players. Which is why with how rare that is and how rare this pre-release crack is…
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was intentional to weed out a bunch of people who were planning on pirating asap.
The only way pirates could be picked out, was seeing if they were dumb enough to show up early enough to stand out. Pirate it on the 21st, and I think you’re just good for life… (Assuming you keep updating your cracked copy)
