Not too surprising, I imagine removing the PSN login was real close to just cracking the game entirely. Honestly not sure why people would buy the game and then use a third party tool to bypass the PSN requirement as opposed to just pirating the game to begin with.
Back in the day I would use NO CD cracks for games I legit owned because I just didn't want to have to change discs all the time when switching games.
DRM tends to negatively affect paying customers more than pirates, so I could easily see legitimate owners still using cracks to remove DRM that is causing them issues in their legally obtained game.
I made .iso files and mounted them in virtual drives to do the same thing. I could have used cracks but I didn't want a virus and I still had the delusion that doing things "fairly" actually meant anything.
Some DRMs can detect ISOs, so this didn't always work.
Back in the days of windows xp and Alcohol 120% it didn’t. I remember having like 12 virtual disk drives each with an independent iso just to avoid swapping disks.
