Original view on hackers, Blackdog.
Hackers do not crack a game because they want to mod it, but because they want to cheat. So if you have an open game for flying for fun and a closed one for competition, it's still a large motivation to crack the game in order to provide cheats for competitions.
Maybe for IL2 there was an additional motivation, as some people felt cheated by Oleg for some porked favourite aircraft. The outcome is the same: To give yourself a benefit, either against opponents or against the original thing.
And the comparrison to FSX? Well, I doubt there's much competition in FSX, so nobody is hurt by a pegasus passing by your cockpit. But in SOW?
