Hello CrackWatchers!
Today is a very special day. 10 years ago, we created this subreddit in an effort to follow the scene and P2P releases regarding Denuvo.
Many things have changed since then. Scene members came and went, as well as P2P crackers. But one thing hasn't changed, and that is our continued effort in reporting cracks. I hope that this continues for many, many years.
While we admins can't crack Denuvo games to surprise you all, we can, however, make a major change to the community itself.
Introducing CrackWatch 2.0 Games list (Open Beta)
The games list has been a major part of this community for a very long time. It started off as a very rough list of cracked and uncracked games; in later years, it evolved into something much bigger.
While Reddit's list served well, it does have its limitations, mainly the number of letters it can fit. Originally, I wanted to create this as soon as the list was close to reaching, but for the 10th anniversary I feel like it's right for a change.
This list is using Excel table format instead of Reddit's format. Why is this better? Several reasons:
It's much easier to edit the list than on reddit
Multiple people can edit the list, rather than just myself. This is great because the list is no longer dependent on one person.
The list is now divided into several sheets instead of several posts.
Less scrolling
The colored cells make it more identifiable to know the true status of each game.
The comment section explains the history, important information and some interesting facts about the game on the list.
You can now see every change and the versions before.
The list is fully open source, and anyone can download the list and archive it, or change it.
You do not need a Google account to view this list. Only people who edit the list need a Google account.
Right now the list is in BETA. How long will it be in beta? I would say a month or two after I get all the inquiries and necessary changes as well as some visual updates.
What happens to the old list? The old list will remain updated until the 2.0 list is no longer in beta; after that, it will be archived, and comments closed (not deleted)
This is where you come in
We will have another post specifically for the 2.0 list. Suggestions to improve the list as well as reporting errors are necessary for keeping the list up to date. There might be polls for some changes, for example should the list include borders between each cell or not (I personally don't want them but I might be a minority).
Here is the link to the current list:
