I saw my wife playing this years ago, and always fancied having a go, but never got around to it.

So a few months back we got it going so it could stream to our Apple TV and off I went. Spent a few weeks playing it in the evenings and having a nice time.

Then Ubisoft put out an 'update' to it, that broke it completely. A massive update for a ten year old game. Cunts.

So I guess I'll never finish it, because fuck Ubisoft.

Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn't have any qualms about recommending that route to you.

Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.

Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

Technically it's not.

They don't even need a new copy of the game, just the cracked .exe file.

Arguably so, as they did not get the scene group's permission to redistribute their works.
