In case you did not know, NieR: Automata has been cracked. This third-person action title uses the latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech, however crackers were able to crack it almost one month and a half after release. As you may also know, and since PlatinumGames has not addressed any of the game’s issues, Kaldaien’s FAR mod is a must-have for this title. However, there is a catch.
Kaldaien has made it possible so that his mod can detect whether someone is using an original or a pirated version of NieR: Automata. And if someone is using one, this mod prevents the user from launching and playing the game.
So, those using a pirated version of NieR: Automata with Kaldaien’s FAR mod will be welcomed with the License agreement (that they obviously can’t accept since they are using a pirated version) and another message tells them to buy the game in order to support the developers.
Now this is a really clever move. Yes, some will say that this mod acts like a malware for doing something like that, however this is a really clever way to prevent pirates (and reward those who paid for this title).
Well done Kaldaien!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
