    I got super confused for a second because I thought this was straight up GOG and thought it was because of that Nazi email that got sent out the other day lol

    I been paranoid about hacked games for a while but this seems sad. It likes like there is some sort of safety feature. I guess you can check the validity of the installer and then the hash of the game straight from gog? That feels as legit as the screen can get if so. Wouldn’t mind trying to archive this for historical preservation reasons but I have to find time to get a walkthrough

    Goddammit, first MagiPack, now this, who’s next? I guess in the future the only way you’ll be able to pirate games anymore is through torrents which you have no idea if they’re safe or not?

          What lies? They had actual SS Sig runes in the title of that email.

          Btw, glazing a company while posting from a instance run by an anarchist collective is… an interesting choice.

              Do you realy think I would use tiktok, when I’m on lemmy? And yes saying anything positive about any company is dumb, they only care about the money you bring, that’s the whole point of them.

              Yes I know those runes are older than fascism, everybody with half a brain knows that, though they would also know that using two of them next to eachother has only been done by Schutzstaffel. And it’s called a dogwhistle for a reason, apologist.

          Funny how the German side of GoG recognized the nazi symbols and stopped the SS lightning bolts from being sent on the German version of the emails.

          Anyways don’t let the door hit you in the face on the way out

      Trying games out is absolutely a thing. I’ve bought so many indie games because I tried them out and liked them, that I wouldn’t have taken a chance on.

        funny thing, that’s how I ended up buying Minecraft many moons ago. this was probably several months or so after Minecraft first started going viral, and from the screenshots I had seen it looked stupid. I downloaded a torrent to see what all these weirdos were playing so that I could make fun of them.

        I don’t know how many hours I’ve put into Minecraft in the decade or so since, but it’s definitely been more than any other game I’ve ever played.

        Just get you some corporate games on the high seas?

        Pirating Ubislop and EA and Crapcom and various other evil corported plagues on gaming is never a bad thing.

        Or wait for a sale.

        I’ve been replacing my Steam catalog on GOG and most games have been under $5 in sales. The last game I paid more than $4.99 for was Baldur’s Gate 3, when it came out.

        Exchange rates are valid, though. Those can be absolutely ridiculous.
