The Pre-Launch Leak: 3DM managed to bypass the game's protection ahead of its official release by utilizing files from the unprotected Origin demo. They combined the demo's executable with the full game's assets (which were available for pre-load on Steam), effectively creating a playable "cracked" version before the game even officially hit shelves.
