You've probably heard of crack groups like CODEX, CPY, RELOADED or SKIDROW. Have you ever wondered who is behind those names? In this video, we do a little dive into the world of the Warez Scene, and explore how these groups operate in the vast underground network to crack games. The Warez Scene is a secretive society of "hackers" who break copyright protection, also known as DRM (Digital Rights Management) on all sorts of media. I'm focusing on games because it's the most interesting part of the Warez Scene, and gaming piracy is a frequent topic of discussion in the gaming world. There's a lot that happens before a game arrives to p2p (peer to peer) networks such as the Pirate Bay that most of us are familiar with, so I wanted to explore and explain that side of video game piracy.
