Comment on Forza Horizon 6 Leaks And Is Being Pirated On PC More Than A Week Before Release

I wonder if this is ever going to happen intentionally with some kind of “phone home” system to slap people with lawsuits. Has that ever been done before? I know similar things have happened with antipiracy measure but those usually only effect the actual game. It seems like something big companies would want to do.

That would be stripped out by the cracking team before release. The scene doesn’t forget to test things, you know (also many countries where cracked games are hosted/more prevalent are places where foreign copyright law doesn’t matter much).

I see people say things like this all the time, but almost every scene release I’ve ever played has still phoned home. Use something like opensnitch and you can easily see that for yourself. If you are not blocking pirated games via firewall they are phoning home.
