Scene group CODEX was able to crack Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection; a game that was released back in October 2017. What’s really interesting here, though, is that according to CODEX there were five layers of DRM in Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection.

 

Valve removes publisher's games from Steam for manipulating review scores

Following the circulation of an email that appeared to exhort Insel Games employees to purchase copies of its hack-and-slash MMO Wild Buster: Heroes of Titan and review it positively—or else—Valve has announced that all of the publisher's games have been removed from Steam.
The email, sent in mid-December (reportedly by the studio CEO) and posted to Reddit yesterday, pointed out that Wild Buster only had six user reviews on Steam at the time, far fewer than the number of people who work at the studio. Furthermore, some employees had apparently indicated that they weren't actually interested in purchasing or reviewing the game at all.

>>I'm sorry for the employees, but it serves them right.
