Looks like this happened 5+ years ago… Did someone in the group go rogue and they were removed? I’ll have to look up the piracy games sub reddit when I can get to my computer but at this point it seems to be a nothing burger if it happened so long ago
For me, when the trust is gone, it’s gone. But if there is a time limit for you. For example 5+ years. You do you. It’s your computer. I remember it when it was fresh on the Reddit sub.

I like to go by the saying “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me”.
