1 year agoI’ve only grabbed two games from the site, the files seemed harmless but quality was lacking. One game consistently black screened across different pcs/OS I had, and the other was missing DLC/expansions that the site claimed to have bundled with the download. I’d double check if any specific communities based around whatever games has anything to say about the site, and acknowledge the possibility of something malicious slipping through if broken/missing files can.
Not the other guy but piracy isn’t an automatic loss of sale. I’ve bought plenty of things I originally wouldn’t have, because piracy was my “skimming the book” before buying. Not being able to pirate is like seeing the plastic wrapped book and going “I’ll just look for something else then, I don’t want to waste my money on something I’m not sure I’ll like”.
If someone has decided to pirate something, they had already decided it wasn’t worth buying to begin with, they were already a “lost” sale.
