I don’t pirate games but after reading this, I DEFINITELY will not pirate games. If these clowns are the ones cracking/repacking the games then I do NOT trust the games to not contain malware/bullshit/whatever. Maybe I’m being paranoid but I wouldn’t go anywhere near software put out by these people. They sound like the types to include malware just to frame the other group or whatever. Idk. These people are morons.
nowadays I assume cracked software (unless if the crack script is fully open source) to likely contain some kind of malware and I just sandbox them since I play cracked games with bottles flatpak anyway.
Flatpak is a linux package format.
Bottles is a gui software that makes it easy to run windows software (especially games) on linux (it is a very good gui/management tool for wine)

The only repacks I trust are FitGirl’s, mostly because they’re compressed to all hell and she’s always just… kept her head down.
That’s the way. Just keep your head down and don’t engage with morons.

Casual wine/proton W
There are a lot of other legit crackers besides these two
I thought I read there’s only like 1 that does DRM cracking anymore. That’s not the case?
This is for a specific DRM called Denuvo. Most games don’t have it, but the big titles do
Is there only 1 that does denuvo?
It appears only the most deranged of the bunch are willing to dedicate their time cracking Denuvo.
Anymore? Yes. Used to be more, but at this point it’s basically just the shittiest person of the bunch.
