Folks here are like "everyone uses it. Eventually all gamers realize it's better"
Me, having never even heard of this in my 30 years of gaming: 🫣
It's a catch 22. If everyone uses it, game companies get it shut down, and then it doesn't exist, and then nobody uses it. The only existing methods of piracy are little known. That you've never heard of it is expected.
I was so upset when the vault got dmca'd
I mean, do you pirate games? If you've never gone to a torrent site in your life it's not surprising, but FitGirl's repacks are so numerous that it's hard not to notice them if you do pirate.
I used to torrent frequently, but rarely software.
Since I graduated and started making adult money I haven't really at all. When I want to vote with my wallet, I just don't play it at all (usually these are live service games anyways).
Although I'm going to start torrenting music and video again on principle.
Lol
