Today’s technology makes it easy to create copies of any PC game.
Doing a general search on the internet will produce many applications that will allow you to copy almost any PC game. However, you should be careful, because free pc game copy software is very often infected by malware, adware, trojans, or viruses.
A lot of people are under the impression that copying PC games is illegal. Making a personal “backup copy” of a game is not illegal in most countries, distributing copies is.
So, with rampant piracy in our ever growing software world, how are they protected?
Most PC games now require an “online registration” similar to Windows Vista. Once you register your Pc game, no one else can register that particular copy of the game. By doing this companies prevent users from distributing illegal copies of PC games.
This means that the gaming software industry has met one of its “anti-piracy” goals.
What happens if you do not register? Newer games, such as Grand Theft Auto IV, will not allow you to complete the installation without registering. Besides that, once someone registers one of the copies, the rest would not work anyway.
If you have ever visit a P2P network you might have noticed that you will find hundred if not thousands of downloadable “cracks” for any game. 99% of these cracks will be viruses or trojans. By the time you find one that actually works, your PC will have so many virus infections, you will probably not be able to run the game.
Software for making 1:1 copies of your PC games are readily available and if you use them wisely they will help you a lot and save you a lot of time. You should know that making a backup copy of your PC game for personal use is not illegal. Selling that copy, or even giving it away, usually is illegal.
The fastest way to copy PC games is by using a reputable game copy software. You can get good game copy software for around $30. The investment is minimal compared to the benefits you will get.
