You're welcome, I like to share these stats :)

You can read more about nukes here (also linked on the top of the post).

TLDR A release can get nuked for different reasons:

• Not compliant to official scene rules
• Dupe (means: another group was faster)
• Not working (Game crack doesn't work)
• Etc.

Practically "Nuked" means "don't spread" to other servers and "disgrace" for the release group ;)

Another example:
A group with a lot of releases have a higher chance of getting more nukes.

AFO had 22.576 releases and 256 nukes.
I checked the nukes and most of them are so called "dupe" nukes. That means, another group released the same "thing" before them. So the other group won the race.

Why would the scene need two versions of the same thing? That's wasted space on the harddrive, so the later release gets nuked. That's what happened a lot to AFO in 2023. Another group was just faster

Yes, and it makes sense for "poorer" countries. Not everybody can buy something for $10, so pirating is actually very inclusive for the whole world.

Indeed interesting, I think a lot of mags in there, daily stuff
