I really felt cheated that no one was insulted, no rants were frothed, no theories conspiracied in this nfo. All we got was relevant information and kindness.

I’m kidding obvs

To be fair it’s the exact same bypass as any other Steam game. Any steam emulator would work.

Bethesda the publisher does things differently than Bethesda the developer.

As a dev, they know their modding communities keep their games alive long, long past their expiration dates and will fuck with them as little as they possibly can - this takes them from games to household names to legends that everyone knows.

As a publisher pushing products that aren’t intended to be modded, they drink the koolaid.

I disagree about the publishing side somewhat, every now and then the publishing team hits a home run. Like I’ve been playing Ghostwire: Tokyo recently which is published by Bethesda and it’s a pretty good game, and let’s not forget Prey which was an awesome game also published by Bethesda.

So tbey do get it right sometimes.

As soon as anyone can download a game, all pirates can too (unless Denuvo)!

“Cracked” meaning having replaced a dll file

Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg

Bethesda games usually don’t go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)

It was developed by ID I believe, bethesda only published the game.

And is developed by ID software, not Bethesda Game Studios. Bethesda the publisher has different tactics when it comes to games not developed by BGS.

It had denuvo but the game shipped with a denuvo-less exe so it was “cracked” day 1 lol.

Mighta been the 2016 doom but regardless it was funny lol

I have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.

It really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales.

I probably would have bought it already if I couldn’t find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

They don’t even replace the DLL file for you! After you run the RUNE installer, you have to copy the emulator yourself

You can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you.

I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.
