Just noticed that both 1337x and TorrentGalaxy mark IGGGAMES as a "trusted uploader" (lemmy.sdf.org)

But I remember seeing that group being blacklisted and called out in multiple Piracy communities and wikis a few years ago.

What happened? Are they good now?

Looks like this happened 5+ years ago... Did someone in the group go rogue and they were removed? I'll have to look up the piracy games sub reddit when I can get to my computer but at this point it seems to be a nothing burger if it happened so long ago

For me, when the trust is gone, it's gone. But if there is a time limit for you. For example 5+ years. You do you. It's your computer. I remember it when it was fresh on the Reddit sub.

1 time is enough for me.
