I think it’s more likely that there are others who don’t publicly share their cracks because they doesn’t want legal trouble/attention.
I don't buy this. It's easy to upload files anonymously.
Yeah but why take that risk? They don’t really gain anything.
They can't gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it
Once again, why would they share their cracks if its for personal use?
Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?
Mods and open source software are not illegal.
You're missing the point I've made completely.
My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.
Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people
The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games
