By 2011, RELOADED was the undisputed heavyweight champion of the PC cracking scene. Founded in June 2004 by ex-members of the legendary group DEViANCE, RELOADED had dominated the landscape for nearly seven years. They were famous for surviving two major government crackdowns and were almost always the first group to release high-profile AAA titles, including nearly every iteration of the FIFA series and Pro Evolution Soccer .

These are the names of legendary "Scene" groups. In the early 2010s, these groups were the titans of the digital underground, competing to see who could release a working, cracked version of a game first. Seeing these names was, for many, a mark of "stability"—it meant the game would run on PC without the intrusive DRM (Digital Rights Management) that often slowed down performance at the time.

The result? A game that launched in 3 seconds, saved properly, and ran at 120fps on high-end 2011 rigs (think GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Radeon HD 6950).
