Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, developed by Kojima Productions and published by Konami, was released in 2015 to widespread critical acclaim. The game's engaging storyline, improved gameplay mechanics, and extensive open-world design captivated players worldwide. However, a subset of players obtained the game through unauthorized means, including cracks and pirated copies. This group, dubbed the "crack exclusive," has sparked interest among gamers, industry observers, and researchers.
