    And that’s bad because… That’s what GOG does

      Because it was supposed to be a pre-release.
      The way those generally work is that the entire game in encrypted so you can download it early and when the release date comes they release the encryption key.
      Except this time they uploaded the game unencrypted.

  I wish real life driving hadn’t ruined car games for me.

      Nothing astonishing, just driving long hauls every day for several years, almost every day stuck behind traffic, snow, landslides, landslide remediation crews, trains, etc. I feel tired and stressed out just looking at cars sometimes. I still have to drive a decent amount and I still want a small and cheap minimalist everyman’s EV as long as I expect to need a car, but I really wish I could just stop one day and maybe not dread them so much.

  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.

  Does this impact the game much? It (sadly) requires xbox login, so I don’t imagine it will be playable for long. In fact they’ve already started banning accounts for this.
