    That's why one sells such cracks through Tor Hidden Services.

    You would have a point... if he was selling them. Which he wasn't.

    Scene crackers do it for notoriety and/or ideology, not profit.

    Voksi declined to reply when reached for comment by Kotaku, but on Reddit he lamented that this Denuvo-cracking days are almost certainly behind him. “Sadly, I won’t be able to do what I did anymore,” he said. “I did what I did for you guys and of course because bloated software in our games shouldn’t be allowed at all. Maybe someone else can continue my fight.”
