Nothing is uncrackable. Considering Microsoft's DRM for Windows has constantly been hacked since Windows XP before the final consumer public release, it's no surprise Windows 8 apps can be hacked as well. Why do companies even bother in the end anything can be bypassed, save yourself the cash and just give it up Microsoft and every other software company.

So that developers can build apps. You didn't really think that through did you? You need some level of protection, even if it's breakable.

There are no unbreakable locks, but we use them anyway.

But this is like they didn't even _try_.
