With the amount of games around, the lower prices everywhere, free games being given and the used market, I don't really see the point of cracking a game.
Cracks are a beautiful remnant of an era where games were harder to access. The time where to get a game you had to spend most of the day waiting for it to download, or there was no physical release near your location.
I remember doing that for a few games, but I eventually got them legitimately. They were Civilization II and Quake.
Now, if we were talking software, that is a notably different issue. Photoshop, Office, Windows, and many others that I eventually ended up going legit or just cracked for no reason, as I didn't really needed them, like web editors, and media players.
