With todays technology, making a copy of a PC game is pretty simple.
By doing a search on your favorite search engine you will notice that there are numerous software programs that will allow you to copy any PC game easily. However, you should be careful, because free pc game copy software is very often infected by malware, adware, trojans, or viruses.
A lot of people are under the impression that copying PC games is illegal. Making a personal “backup copy” of a game is not illegal in most countries, distributing copies is.
So, with rampant piracy in our ever growing software world, how are they protected?
Most PC games now require an “online registration” similar to Windows Vista. Once you register your Pc game, no one else can register that particular copy of the game. This prevents you from “distributing” copies of your PC game.
This means that the gaming software industry has met one of its “anti-piracy” goals.
What if you don’t register? Newer games, such as Grand Theft Auto IV, will not allow you to complete the installation without registering. In addition as soon as someone registers one of the copies, the rest would not work anyway.
If you have ever visit a P2P network you might have noticed that you will find hundred if not thousands of downloadable “cracks” for any game. 99% of these cracks will be viruses or trojans. By the time you find one that actually works, your PC will have so many virus infections, you will probably not be able to run the game.
The “tools” for making copies are readily available, and if you use them wisely, they can be helpful. Most times making a backup copy of your PC game is not illegal. Selling that copy, or even giving it away, usually is illegal.
The fastest and easiest way to make copies of your PC games is by downloading a game copy software. You can get good game copy software for around $30. The investment is minimal compared to the benefits you will get.
