Who cares if it uses a crack to achieve that?
This is less hypocritical than Ubisoft using a scene crack to bypass their own DRM, but I think it's a problem of them hiding the fact that they are using scene coders' work to remove DRM from the games.
They're not removing it themselves nor are the publishers giving them a non-DRM copy, but they're technically using illegal methods to remove the DRM, since after all we know crackers are filthy scum who have nothing better to do than impose on the digital rights of consumers to be managed.

That's self-defeating. When the pirates win you don't get any more games. Imagine if everyone pirated Fallout 3 and Bethesda went bankrupt like Interplay did and you didn't get Fallout 4.
I'd count that as a victory.
If by victory you mean losing the makers of the beloved Fallout and Oblivion franchise to a bunch of parasitic leechers.
