DEViANCE was an underground cracking group formed on 1 January 1999 that released cracked, full-version PC game ISO to the Scene, via affiliated Topsites. The group was composed by CyberNaj, THE TM Leader.

DEViANCE was known for cracking and releasing notable software titles hours before retail release. A noteworthy example is Unreal Tournament 2004, released 24 hours before Atari's official release date of 16 March 2004.

DEViANCE also created and released cracks, cracked updates, trainer, and keygens (collectively referred to as DOX).

Shutting Down

Recently, on the 25th of December, 2006 DEViANCE have decided to shut down all their activities. A quote from their website states, "...and allot of people who spend more time in writing articles in forums instead to get something done, forces me to make this decision to protect the name and the honour some of our productions earned in the past."

The last "real" active members of DEViANCE were: Anesthetic, Vigo, Ghandy, TMB ( SCX DVN Times ), DocD, Interpol, Core, Sir Truck, Hobby1, Wodka, Keito, AM-FM and Gopher.

However, DEViANCE have said that if anyone wishes to take over the group, and rebuild it, then DEViANCE may still be running, but under a different owner.

History

DEViANCE was formed from DVNiSO, the PC game ISO division of DiViNE.

DEViANCE was shut down in the end of 2006 and was renamed to HATRED.

FACT:

HATRED is NOT the DEViANCE as stated above. The original DEViANCE broke apart, then later a newly formed DEViANCE group come together. Together with some previous members, and not the old talented members but testers stayed. Since last year with the break-up of the newly formed DEViANCE, some members formed HATRED. BUT!!! Not ONE original DEViANCE member exists in HATRED, this is a FACT. Therefore as stated above, HATRED is NOT DEViANCE in any shape or form!
