    There’s not a lot of brave souls doing this as a passionate hobby any longer. Now it’s for the clout, to inject malware, or to receive monetary donations. Or all three!

    I hope I am wrong, and we can get back to the passionate hobby, but it’s looking kinda grim from my point of view.

        If you have been doing it for a decade, then surely you’ve noticed the drop in active crackers…?

        Yeah. Piracy is alive-and-well. You can even acquire and play PS5 games right now if you wanted to.
