Who tf
I have like 600 games in my backlog between emulation and steam sales, why would I risk a keylogger snatching my bank info?
You think you're safe using a private tracker? Lol
I might trust fitgirl repacks, if I was truly broke and desperate and kept it to my gaming only partition.
i feel like you don't trust piracy because you bricked the family computer when you were 12
Also "don't trust piracy" my ass, my plex library is bigger than your mom.
I'm just not stupid enough to get PC herpes.
Yeah, me too. YOU just cant seem to fathom that basic caution when downloading will protect you from getting punjabinovirusfree100%.exe
Basic caution is a sandboxed environment, anything less is foolish.
If you torrent games you will get a virus eventually, because your bank info is worth more than uploader clout.
I'm happy to hear an alternate viewpoint if you have any point besides "lol you just don't get it".
Alright, fair enough.
I dont really care if i get a virus, just do a fresh reinstall of windows/linux and badabing badaboom your back. i use piracy for playing games that im not able to. example is emulation, like i dont think alot of people have a game console collection and have the time/money to jailbreak/ buy an entire collections worth of games. Also i dont really wanna waste money on a game im not sure ill play.
Also i wanna hear YOU say why you dont pirate games, because all ive been reading is the type of insults id be hearing in the third grade.
