Trackmania 2 crack? o_O

[Trackmaniack]

Type in Trackmania 2 in Youtube, or simply just Trackmania. Let the auto-complete do its thing. Tell me what the first few results are. Remember, the auto-complete is a -bot-, and only works the way it does based on search volume. The more people search for "X", the higher it is in the auto-complete. So...what's with all the requests for a TM2C crack?

I'm pretty sure it's people searching for a pirated version of the game. Nations attracted a lot of people who like free games, and now those people want to play TM2 for free. Also, if you search for Trackmania United, two of the auto-complete options are "Trackmania United Forever key" and "Trackmania United Forever free download".

Well, I suppose in some sort of twisted way, this is a good sign because only games with a hardcore following get cracked. You wouldn't (likely) see a crack for the 1999 version of Wheel of Fortune PC. Or maybe you would. Anyway, I just wanted to bring it to the devs attention because, if someone really -has- got a cracked copy and is spreading it around, that's naturally not good. However, this could likely just be trolling/virus/scamming as well...

It's just piraters being themselves. Nothing new.

It's not a crack, but just a keygen which generates product keys. It can be found around the internet and seems to be working. Hopefully Nadeo will ban those keys when the final is released. Though this also happened with United and all other games in the past (also most other released games). Demo of the keygen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMGkWWHtSdY

PS: it's not that difficult to just grant access to keys that have been sold, right?

[janculits]

well there is limit one user per key, so the pirates will not be able to play online, and since this is multiplayer beta, they would get track editor at best anyways. How on earth a keygen could possibly generate keys that nadeo would actually have generated, but noone has used for thair account

Nadeo/Ubisoft should claim millions from those bastards

[dustyjo]

100% of those videos are fake. They even get posted before games even come out (sometimes by months).

So I take it none of you have EVER pirated ANYTHING right ?

Congratulations then, you're much better than me

Pirating is good too, because, as long the pirates cant play online, the offline solo is actually like a demo for them
