    They can’t gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it

        Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

            You’re missing the point I’ve made completely.

              My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.

                Being anonymous isn’t incompatible with helping people

                  The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games

                    TOR is a thing, it’s not hard to upload files anonymously.
