Are there pirated contents that you very like and eventually give money to the creator, and where do you find the creators?

Many games I try out as pirated and then buy them after I know I enjoy them. Sometimes I don't enjoy them and then I'm glad I didn't spend $60.

How do you know you can trust cracks? I used to before crypto mining.

I trust movie torrents cause it's just a file that gets run. Cracks are executables tho, they could do anything to your computer.

Most of the time i get them from specific trusted sources. Then i hash them to make sure they are still the same file the author says it is. Like johncena cracks or similar.

I don't think she does cracks technically, right? They're repacks I thought

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Correct but she does ensure they are legit last i read.

Got any of them trusted names? It's been a while since I've been in the cracking scene.

I assume the megathread is still being regularly updated, so here you go. If you have a slow internet connection I recommend Fitgirl repacks.
