    This is sad. gog-games is the most straightforward and elegantly simple site to get pirated games, all while being 100% safe

    I really hope there’s an alternative. This site was the best because it kept the games up-to-date

    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?

    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

    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

    That’s a shame. I need to make sure to grab a few games from them before they sink. 90 days? plenty of time still since this announcement.

    Thanks for your service.
