So either they have methods for both of those two which isn't that outlandish since they're both popular enough for people to find a way to do that or they have some other method to port it over. But since the article mentioned they changed some things in the game my bet is on the decompiling.

I guess it's either that or somebody hacked their Git server or something, but that's less likely.

That way they cracked tarkov.
