Hey, PJF. You mentioned that there are more applications that games out there as far as warez goes, and you wanted to know why. That's easy enough to guess. I don't think it's that games are harder to crack than applications, I think that it's probably much harder to crack apps. But there are at least two things that probably come into play there. 1. A game costs $49.95 or so. Many applications cost in the THOUSANDS. Someone who can afford a $49.95 game may not be able to afford $2500 or more, or even $200 for software. 2. Applications probably ARE harder to crack, which from my understanding of hackers, means they like cracking it more than games. From what I've read of hacking, and the movies I've seen, the bigger the challenge, the bigger the emotional reward they get from cracking it.
