Cool idea, problematic name. Have you considered any others? There’s a ton of racist/problematic connotations in the US with this name that probably wouldn’t be well understood in DE/EU…

I'm not going to talk with my friends about using something called crackpipe. Might be cool software, but I can't take it seriously. This would be like if Plex called themselves bootlegpimp.

Terrible name. Call it something like Gamepipe instead.

As others have said, cool concept, awful name.

Bad name aside Windows only client support is a big letdown and makes the application useless to me.

I for one will not be using this to introduce my kids to gore simulators where you can see chunks of peoples' heads blown off at your own hands, because it's called crack pipe, and that is where I draw the line

While Crackpipe can be used with cracked games, it does not encourage or condone piracy.

This is so fucking hilarious to me. Your logo is a pirate, and your app name is "crack"pipe (which is dumb for many reasons), and you use 'alternatively sourced' in the language instead of just talking about DRM-free games.

Cool software, but if you don't want to get shut down you certainly should reconsider your approach.

Cool software.

Even as someone sympathetic to 'privateers' though...you gotta have more plausible deniability bro, workshop that name lmao

I love the chutzpah of it.

Creative commons isn't a licence designed for code though, consider using the AGPL instead.

If you guys want this to take off in the US (and probably Canada too) you gotta rethink the name. If it doesn't come off as vaguely racist it will come off as edgy for edgy's sake. Low-brow and amateurish. Otherwise, it looks cool. Best of luck to you.

For god sakes, change the damn name.

I thought it was satire at first 😂

I'd be interested if there's any plans for a Linux client

cool stuff but what about packaging the games? only transfering files is most of the time not enough and games need registry stuff and what not and on games that need a setup.exe to be run, is that unattended like on steam or do users need to click "next, next, finish"?

So it's like game streaming with Geforce Game Streaming and Moonlight?

But like others already said: Reconsider that name...

Lol, gonna be honest, it would be pretty hard telling my friends about this awesome thing I learned about called Crackpipe.

That said, it's not really something I could do anyway. My ISP doesn't let me host servers, and they're the only ISP in my area without disgustingly draconian data limits.
