as per lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/1585338, yes, its fairly easy to confirm. though there probably were multiple uploads for the game, of which only the one from “VitaminX” should be infected (unless others reuploaded that one as well).
at the end of the day, why bother with these weird reuploads and repacks from unknown nobodies. get your repacks from dodi and fitgirl who’re comparatively trustworthy, and have been for many years. or skip the repack alltogether and get the DRM-free files from gog-games.
I have seen people claim that there are infected copies all over the internet, not sure if it’s true but please be careful and make sure to use something like Virustotal and Malwarebytes if you aren’t sure!
