I used to pirate back in the day and the fact that you no longer had updates or fixes was a huge issue. It's actually the number one reason I no longer pirate games. It's not worth my time or frustration to deal with a virus, bad crack or crashing game. Also since I stopped pirating I've had exactly 0 malware/trojan infections.

I pirate all the time. Until recently mostly on public trackers. Had malware once when I was like 12 and that's about it. Sounds like a skill issue. Also, most cracked games get updates.
