|
 |
did the scene rules for iso releases change?
homemade isos weren't allowed before and lately even groups like reloaded/razor have fallen and release homemade isos/steamrips without getting nuked.
e.g.:
left 4 dead/skidrow (steamrip)
F.E.A.R 2 Project Origin/die (steamrip)
Warhammer 40000 Dawn of War 2/ViTALiTY (steamrip)
Perimeter 2 New Earth/FLT (steamrip)
Silent Hill Homecoming/ViTALiTY (steamrip)
empire total war/Razor1911 (steamrip)
last remnant/reloaded (steamrip)
Watchmen End Is Nigh/Razor1911 (steamrip)
merchants of brrooklyn/Razor1911 (steamrip)
shouldn't these be in "pc game rips" section instead of "pc game isos"?

a "rip" means something has been "ripped" off to decrease size (music and videos usually). A "steam rip" is the integral game with anything left as such. Therefor it still qualifies as "Iso".
And about the "homemade" part, well, the only way to make a .iso of a game taken from steam IS homemade.

for wh40k and ETW its simply cloned the retail dvd and change the installer (to skip steam authentication) - for other probably too
last steam expansion on the game market forced some groups to use so called " steam rip" images to get the game at all

i just find it fucking annoying that they still insist on putting them in an image file with a (crappy and often broken) installer
when you don't have an install media or even original installer, all 'purity' is lost anyway
just let us unrar the game directly, copy crack over and play

Isos aren't compressed.
Anyway, I agree with shole, they try to keep it close to the original steam release with the sim/sid files. But to decrypt them without steam they have to use simpack/custom installers.
Better 100% homemade in rars with just the files (crack in separate folder)
