Did they suddenly become uncrackable or did the real crackers really left the scene or what? F.E.A.R_2_Project_Origin-DIE Warhammer.40.000.Dawn.of.War.II-ViTALiTY Silent.Hill.Homecoming-ViTALiTY Empire_Total_War_Special_Forces_Edition-Razor1911 Only Steamshit... VTY with their "superior pwnzor cracking skills with überclean cracks" should crack updated versions of SecuROM right away... What is going on? I want an old fashioned ISO instead of these homemade Steam-rips that EMPORiO, DETONATiON and so on kept being nuked for a few years ago... Now it's suddenly ok and not a nuke in sight? Am I missing something? Did I miss something important in the last 6-7 months when I didn't give a fuck about gaming? Wtf is going on, anyone? Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!

kosmiq, 1. Games you listed are steam only games so there can be no "old fashioned ISOs" 2. Shut the fuck up and stop whining about something that's free or do the cracking yourself. C2D E6750 @ 3.2Ghz, 4GB 800MHz DDR2 4-4-4-12, GeForce GTX 260 c216 OC 896MB, 3.2TB, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Xbox 360 Elite, PS2 Slim, Xbox

1. Steam only? So when you buy the games in a store on physical media it still requires Steam or what? I was under the impression that they did not require Steam if bought on physical media. I can, of course, be wrong. Haven't been "in the loop" for quite a while.

2. I am a little like this myself and I have not said that I will not play Steamrips or do not like them. I just like real cracked games in real ISO format A LOT MORE. I have played several Steam-rips during the years but I do prefer to get a real ISO if it is available. I also really do appreciate the free as long as it is working and working as it should. Lets face it, if it doesn't work (aka bad crack, not in these cases but anyway) it's still worthless.. So you shut the fuck up, chill down and go back to masturbating or whatever you were doing with your sexual frustration before unleashing it on the internet.

Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!

Every single one of those listed games is available as a retail copy. However every single one of those retail copies work the same way, disc contains SIM and SID files (And some third format.) plus a installer for Steam. Launcher (Autorun if enabled.) will detect steam and otherwise install it and then launch the games setup program which will ask for a key which is then entered in Steam with your currently logged in account (Bit unsure but I think this is how it works.) which will tie the game to your account and you can probably redownload it via Steam if necessary. It'll also check release date to determine when the game is officially available for installation and playing so you will have to modify a few things and unpack the archives if you want to play without Steam. This is exactly how these releases have worked so far, either a unpacked Steam content game or a custom installer to unpack these files with a cracked EXE to remove the Steam dependancy or a loader program in case of any homeade releases which also makes it compatible with future updates if any are made available though those will have to be released as well as they're only distributed via Steam by default. Hope this helps explain a bit about it and yeah this "new" system does require a few different methods in order to be playable but it's not that different from the previous "install game and copy crack" method if you think about it.
