I got mail from someone this week, saying "Thank you for your famous list
of best cracked games. Can you tell me if I can get these games by FTP?".
I flamed the guy, telling him that this is NOT a list of cracked games,
as he called it. Sure, there may be voters voting for games that they
copied from friends. I don't care. I'm only interested in what games
people play, not how they got those games. I'm a net citizen, not a
policeman. But please don't think that the Top 100 supports illegal
activities. It just tells you what games are popular and it may help you
find good games. It doesn't tell you to copy them, but only to get them.
From the stores, preferably.
