Hello,

--- quote ---
Since the debug versions of msvcrt and friends are not redistributable,
it seems odd that a game would require them...

if the game has dependencies to debug version of the Microsoft CRT it is
*broken* by design.
No sane developer would publish executables that pull in a mix of _debug_ and
retail libraries (built with debug code and without).
Forcing people to install Visual Studio to run the game? No, thanks.

Marking invalid.

Regards
