The name is fitting because it's for cracked games, which are piped in a single programme. I don't think it needs changing.
You can rationalize it all you want, at the end of the day when you say crackpipe there’s only one thing that comes to mind.
I’m just imaging a conversation at work talking about a new game, and someone saying they haven’t picked it up yet and a colleague overhearing their co-worker say “just hit the crackpipe”.
Honestly even calling it CrackedPipe would be better than straight up crackpipe, lmao
I'm envisioning the possible reverse scenario where you get someone wanting some crack and won't take "Uhhh, I was just talking about a video game thing" as an answer
I had the same thought, but honestly it's software for pirated games. Pretty tame in the context of that landscape...
i know right? It's so awkward for me to talk about blasting folks heads off with my assault weapons in the latest gore simulator. If the word crack even enters the conversation you better believe it'll cause some stares
Everyone gets that. It's just that sometimes things can be clever and stupid, unwise, and an automatic NO
@starstough @LoafyLemon @alfagun74 this naming thing reminds me again of DeepCreamPy, which was a version of Deep Dream (written in Python) that fills in gaps in hentai
lmao that's fucking brilliant. Might get some glances on your resume until your next future boss hires you because he is a dedicated deep cream py user
I like to commit crimes while screaming that I'm committing crimes.
It makes the crimes more obvious so that everyone knows I'm committing crimes.
CRIMES
As a European, I honestly don't get what you're saying. Maybe it's worth thinking about not forcing your opinions and societal problems onto other people?
It's okay to not know what something is. Crack pipes are WIDELY known to be drug delivery devices. That's not unique to the United States.
Furthermore, advertising your product as being used to pipe "cracked" (otherwise known as ... stolen) games RIGHT there in the name of your product is like daring law enforcement to shut you down in actual record breaking time.
If you want your company to survive such things, you pick a name that is even more clever in that it isn't.... moronic.
I hope you realize this is the purpose of the application? Moreover, piracy is not stealing because it involves copying or distribution of digital content, while stealing refers to the act of taking someone's property without permission, depriving them of its use.
Ah well, maybe that IS uniquely American, the concept that depriving a company that makes digital content of their sales, depriving them of the use of that money they'd otherwise have, IS stealing.
I'm not defending those poor digital content creators, mind you. But your words here tell me you are both European and young. Be careful out there, ok. The people that make the laws don't agree with your definitions, and that means you gotta be ready to explain to them why what you did was totally allowed and decent.
You're assuming again, mate, and this time you're completely off the mark.
Not only that, but you also keep reducing my post counts while upvoting yourself. Everyone can see it mate, this isn't reddit...
