They have code to check if you've replaced any part on your own.
this DRM thing is so stupid
And if you have it won't start.
i think game industry should be more open towards playerbase
dont isolate product from people
give them ability to be part of something they like
So you have to drive it into a "certified workshop" and be told that they no longer make those products should just buy a new tractor...
So some farmers are LITERALLY learning how to hack with help of pirated software.
also you can find sometimes talented people in modding communities who can become future employees of studio
If you want to repair your expensive ass modern tractor you have to pirate the software and learn how to hack.
Yeah, that's also true. A lot of devs now adays had their start in modding at an early age.
It's just waster effort, wasted development time and wasted money.
some games are still alive cause of modding
