Especially NOT League of Legends.

Yeah, however before Warcraft there was Dune II. But I am not sure which one was more popular at the time and I think Dune II came way before Warcraft.

I think why Dune II is more notable though is that the first Dune game was more of an adventure style came, not a strategy game. Then they changed the game with its successor and introduced the asymmetrical factions that each had a few unique units with differing strategies.

Warcraft took that concept further of course. But even there its rather Warcraft II that really had a big breakthrough.

Absolutely, we didn’t even have any special graphics cards at the time for 3D, I believe? I remember that started some time around Quake 2 but I am not sure, I might remember wrong.

Third person view in an FPS (first person shooter) type of game was first seen in the first Lara Croft game, I think?

Then you will need to extend that to the OP of this comment chain as they didn’t specify either what Gears of War is. I am going to edit my comment to clarify but I do feel you are too pendantic for asking this.

Warcraft came a year before Command & Conquer and improved on many concepts that Dune II introduced.

Because other articles cite about 350 (heh, inb4 three-fiddy) for the whole of Valve. This is just Steam.

Was 3 any good? Last one I played was 2 and that was pretty awesome.

In what world is that an answer for a reasonable person?

Just looking at those screenshots made me nostalgic. I forgot how good the graphics were for that time and the fantastic 1st person mode, really cool.

For me it would awesome if they could achieve porting it to Android, I am not playing that much on PC anymore. But thats my problem obviously.

I have not extensively used this site but it seems to have some good pointers

So maybe check with them there first, then install

As much as I like that game, the learning curve is steep af! Unless the little one handles frustration well, it will be a hard sell.

I don’t think this is about removing copy protection to sell it.

It is more about that the crack they are now selling officially has been seen as illegal by the publisher/game developer itself. People have worked on this for no monetary compensation and therefore provided free labour to remove DRM. Now the publisher is banking on this free work, pretty much legitimising the crack. But none of the money actually goes to anyone who cracked the game, since that was still illegal.

If the publisher had just removed DRM themselves and sold those copies, no one would be outraged. But they exploit the work of people they keep condeming for cracking their games.

Seriously… a car analogy. Wow. And a pretty bad one at that.

But I will help you fix that analogy for free, since I feel nice today. A crack for DRM isn’t like adding artwork to a car to make it worth more.

If anything this is about a car that has certain defects that make it work less well than it should. E.g. you cannot switch into gear 5. It runs slower than it could. So people go and fix that, for free. Now the automobile maker takes that free fix and sells all new cars with it. Is that ok? There, still a crap analogy but arguably better than yours.

You ask if the cracks are released with permission to freely distribute? Actually no, they are not. Because they are marked illegal by the law. They should not be distributed since thats against the law. But its of course convenient for the publisher to use that work and distribute themselves. They are technically breaking the law themselves since they are applying illegal cracks to their own software. So thats ok then?

Plus the downfall of the lemmy.fmhy.ml server, which had a pretty big and active piracy community too.
