PLAYING PIRATED PC-GAMES ONLINE

[REDPICA]

Are there pirated pc-games that you can play online? If yes witch ones and how?

For instance; Can I play GTA-V online if I make a Social Club account?

Please more information on this subject

Normally you can't.

Now, you can't play LAN either, but don't take my word for it. Play the GOG-released ones too.

It's about the encryption on the server end of things that's blocking you. If you ask me, it was like this the whole time.

Oh well, live with it; I am.

EDIT: You know if you're into that kind of stuff, you can plan LAN/online with a PS2 Emulator called PCSX2.

Thanks for your reply RobertX.

It's virtually impossible to play a pirated online game, but you can play some of them over LAN, it depends what game it is, and whether it has been cracked properly or not.

I just remembered: for some games, you can play online pirated.

A few years ago, a certain solcott fellow posted methods on how to play online without a purchased serial. There are varying caveats from game to game, but all in all, you can do it.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Before this question gets asked again, it is my recommendation that this gets stickied.

OK, going to visit the crapper.

There are some alternative match making programs like GameRanger.

I'm not sure if it would work on cracked games though.

In the case of some games, you can get around through tunneling utilities such as Hamachi and LAN-based multiplayer, but such a mode appears to be rather rare in games these days. In some titles such as Unreal or any multiplayer title that relies on serial keys for authentication, you'll have to look for a cracked server or two, and such servers are rather hard to find.

For most games I see this as a gentle incentive from devs to get players of pirated games to buy a copy.
Personally I see pirating as a trial and will buy a game once the price is a good value proposition for the time/joy it gives me. This is why my steam collection is well over 1,000 games and my pirate collection includes only about 10 games.

[RobertX]

If you ask me, I will only buy a game that I have pirated. It's my way of saying thanks to those that gave (though by proxy) me a ticket when I couldn't afford one yet.

After years of playing with trolls on Battle.net, I really don't care for online-playing, only LAN. If you read me other post in the Games section, you will find my link for a list of LAN-enabled games that you can play.

My two Canadian dollars.

So, yeah, playing an online pirated game is impossible for most of them and for the few that you may be able to get onto with hacked servers or whatnot, it's probably not worth the trouble. Just play single player games. They are usually far better anyway.
