From Floppy Disks to Digital Downloads
Piracy has been a part of the gaming industry since its early days. In the 1980s, gamers would copy games from floppy disks and distribute them among friends. As technology advanced, so did the methods of piracy, transitioning from physical media to digital downloads.
Today, piracy remains a significant issue, with cracked versions of popular games like NBA 2K25 being widely available online. Despite efforts by developers to combat piracy, it continues to pose challenges for the industry.
