Agreed. As an American, cool concept, rough name. There is no way I’m recommending a software called crackpipe at work.

And let’s say I wanted to use it, I’m going to install this and instruct my kids how to use crackpipe? I’m sure that will go over great with little Timmy’s school when he tells his teacher and friends.

I’d strongly consider changing it.

Crack pipe isn't racist. People of all Skin tones can enjoy that sweet sweet crack.

Even without the racist connotations in the US it's a weird name.
Obviously not as bad though

In the US they can change it to MethPipe

The name is fitting because it's for cracked games, which are piped in a single programme. I don't think it needs changing.

Completely agree, having a memorable name is important but that doesn't mean the name should be a joke.

Still less embarrassing than recommending GIMP.

Gonna contribute to the project just to keep the name as is

My favourite part is 100% the name never change it

reconsider your approach.

Start with the fucking name. Yikes.

Same here. My current method is a self hosted website on my home network which showcases all available games, followed by a bash script download that will automatically generate the yml file for Lutris to fully install any of my 200+ games.

Whilst this is currently the best way I've found for my setup this app seems like the perfect thing to potentially swap to, if Linux was supported.

I thought so too, but it isn't - it's a server that hosts your pirated games and a client that downloads from the server and installs them. It's like Steam or Epic games, but for pirated games.

This looks more like Steam where users actually download and install the games.

It was designed to work with "alternatively obtained" games such as DRM-free games. While Crackpipe can be used with cracked games, it does not encourage or condone piracy.

People, come on.

First of all the name, the logo of a pirate, using the terminology "alternatively obtained" - this is clearly for sharing cracked/pirated games. Any plausible deniability is out the window. Especially with using copyrighted game box arts in the screenshots.

If you changed the language to be something like:

It's designed to assist with sharing games with friends by providing a mechanism for downloading and managing game installations. Please review your game's licenses to ensure this is an acceptable use before sharing.

Then you'd be able to say "this is meant for sharing freeware/shareware easily and making it a social experience."

Also change the name and logo, and get those copyrighted box arts out of the screenshots and just use art from open source games SuperTaxKart, OpenRA, etc. (Technically those may be copyrighted, depends on each game, but at least you're not dealing with fucking Sony by showing a Spider-Man game).
