Could you explain what you mean by this? Are the cracks just done for fun / for clout? I do admit I have wondered what keeps people so reliably cracking new games. Seems like a thankless job.

There are different motivations for different scene groups, but it boils down to dislike the practice of DRM for most.
Though some groups did form for simpler reasons like seeing it as a fun challange to tackle.
