NUKED (warez)

A cracked game, game DLC, video release may be NUKED for several reasons. It may be because the group responsible for the release requested it, or there may be something actually wrong with the release. When a release is nuked, a permanent mark is placed on it, and it stops being actively promoted or distribited. Often, a “REPACK” will follow from the same group, fixing the problems, or another group may release a “PROPER”.

When a "warez" scene member’s release is nuked, managers of the topsites and other distributors obliged to warn their users of the nuking, and the reasons for it. The user responsible for the release can lose respect in the community, and may also be punished in the form of a ban or fine of “credits” within various topsites.

Nuke is the very best Counter Strike: Global Offensive map. It is very sweaty when you come across the people that solo queue nuke only. If you go down the vents you can feed someones EGO and they will starting flaming your team in chat. Once this step is done get one teammate to keep trash talking him into a long conversation so he is distracted. From here it is easy and walk up behind the player while he is typing and just knife him. (We came back from 1-6 to 16-7)
Nuke is the best map in the game apart from train.

This is fun with terminology. The term is used to get a point of apocalyptic emphasis across, scare grandma, and yet do away with the long winded saying, "Put my ham and cheese sandwich in the microwave oven." A simple "Nuke this!" will do. Guaranteed is that no one will misinterpret this abbreviated sentence and turn on the oven gas burner. Of course, grandma may feel the urge to bean her grandson over the head with a metal hot plate! It seems that many a World War II "Flame Thrower' veteran may have used a similar meaning word with "grandma" during the Cuban Missile Crisis in the sixties!
All I said was 'nuke this' grandma; you can put that frying pan back in the oven!
