why not 1.04b? b for bugfix
and whoever wrote about cracked game, why would copy protection apply? no copy protection is being brocken, infact, in most cases this forces you to use an original game because this patch can only be applied with an unmodified gamemd.exe. which means you still require the CD.
as for cracking goes, you could call what PD is doing cracking, but a more accurate term would be hacking. what PD is doing is 1 step up from modding, nothing for personal profit, and nothing to cheat WW/EA out of money, in anything it gives EA more money becuase it forces users to use an uncracked game.
only thing in the EULA that has been brocken is the "You may not modify the game in any way" which modding breaks anyway, and WW don't really mind you doing that. i agree what PD is doing is borderline, but 1 thing it isn't doing is cheating WW/EA out of money. and most of these rules in the EULA was written spacificy to discorage the illegal reproduction and distribution of the game.
