Buy a games on Steam or a different platform can be costly for many players.Pakistan pricing in the gaming market can be financially challenging for most people.As a result of this situation, many players may resort to illegal ways to obtain the game they want to play.
Instead of buying a game from Steam or any other platform, you may want to play the cracked pirated version of that game.So what are the differences between the cracked pirated game and the original game?
If there is no difference, why not play a game for free instead of paying for it?
All Hacked Games Contain Malware
Instead of buying the original version of the game, you install malware on your device by getting the pirated version that works with crack.This malware makes an unlicensed game run as if it was licensed and purchased.This is what actually makes it “malicious”.
Of course, if the only purpose of the malware is to run the game as if it is licensed, this does not pose a great risk for the player.
However, this software, which is the main reason for the term "crack", may not be the only purpose of making the game work.Here is the main factor that causes pirated games to be risky.The malware in the game you have installed on your device may put you at great risk if the game serves other purposes than just the game's operation as if it is licensed.
For these purposes, your personal files and account information can be stolen.Or, it may cause ads that you are not interested in to appear on your device's screen.
Similarly, different software and browser extensions that you will never use can be installed on your device.Or the ip and dns settings of your internet connection can be changed.
You get a cracked game from the internet and installed it on your device.Then you scanned the game files with the antivirus software.As a result, you did not encounter any virus.In this case, you can think that every cracked game does not contain viruses.
However, that is not the case! Every antivirus software has a "malware analysis engine".This monitors how the scanned file or service behaves.As a result of these behaviors, it checks whether the file or service steals personal data or displays an aggressive behavior.As a result, it decides whether the file is malware or not.
But there is a possibility that the malware analysis engine might be wrong.After all, when you scan a cracked game with an antivirus, you may not find a virus.However, this does not mean that the game is not infected.Because every cracked game works thanks to Trojan Horse malware.
A Different Derspective
Now, let's approach the games described as "crack" from a different perspective.
You have entered Steam. You looked at a game that you want to play a lot.Then you saw that the price of the game was 500 PKR.Then you didn't want to pay 500 PKR for a game.You found the cracked version of the game on the internet and installed it.Then you installed the getting file.You were in luck and the game worked.You started playing the game in a pleasant way.
- Well, have you ever thought why this game is offered to you for free?
- So why would someone you don't know offer you a game that normally costs 500 PKR for free?
- Is it because he loves you so much? I do not think so.
- Maybe the reason these games are available on the internet absolutely free is to infect your device with malware?
For example, do you know that the KMSpico application.Which provides free use of Windows 10 and Office software, was abandoned in the 2000s?
This app is currently being developed by others.Yes, it allows you to use Windows 10 and Office software for free.But it also allows your computer to serve as a "zombie device".
Thus, without logging in, your device likes videos in the background on channels you are not interested in on Youtube.
Pirate is a Disrespect to Game Developers
It takes serious effort to develop a game and present it to players in various markets.To truly improve a game, many people devote a significant amount of their time to it.The game is then released on various platforms.
In order to get a return on the labor, the sales ratios must be good.Thus, the time spent can be turned into profit.At the same time, people who work in the game should earn a good sales income from the games published.So that they can continue their work and develop different games.
After all the effort and time spent, when a game is put up for sale, the pirated acquisition of that game by many puts the developer company or individuals in a bottleneck.All the effort, time and money spent goes to waste.
I Can't Pay 500 PKR for a Game!
The majority of the gaming audience are individuals who continue their student years.These individuals, who are currently students, cannot pay 500 PKR for a game they want to play.In today's game world, these fees in sales prices are huge amounts for students.
Even the prices are high for adult players other than students.Therefore, not being able to spend that much money on a game is your most natural rebellion.It shouldn't be this hard to have games invented for everyone to have a good time in their comfort zone.
In such cases, you can expect the game to go on sale.If you do not have such an opportunity, you can play this game in a pirated way.When the popularity of the game ends, the price is usually reasonable.Just at this time, you can buy the game and give the financial support that the developer team should have.
