1337x admins allowing BG3 torrent with bitcoin miner stand after multiple reports in comments with proof, seems like the site lost it's credibility. Suspicious that the user is also shilling to donate to 1337x, suspecting him being somehow affiliated with 1337x mods
I'm not against pirating, but given how long it's taken to crack some of the stuff I was waiting for, and watching things drop to like $10 from a $60 title after a year or two, now I just perpetually wait 2 years until I buy any game. Pirating movies, music, and other 'consumables'...great. Pirating executable content, no fucking thank you. I learned that lesson as a teenager, and I'm not going to put my computer at risk in that way any longer.
Just too many hoops to jump through to maintain a secure PC when pirating games/applications. Anyone who thought 1337 was "safe" to begin with, is fucking stupid.

Imagine not having a virtual machine in 2023
Many games, etc detect being launched from within a virtual machine and will refuse to run. I already run Proxmox here at home with plenty of virtual machines for various services like jellyfin. I've unlocked my 3080 to do proper hardware GPU passthrough and partitioning and even normal...non-pirated games will refuse to run in a VM.
So people run games through a Virtual Machine? I haven't pirated PC games due to not trusting them, so have been curious the steps people take to avoid situations like what occurred. Have wondered if some people have a dedicated PC for just pirated games, or at the very least run it off an external drive.
Imagine not knowing how common sandbox escaping vulns are getting to be.
Did they say donate to 1337x or donate to 1337x followed by a link? If it's the latter it might be to trick people into donating to an individual.
I'd be hesitant to think that's how 1337x mods would get a few extra dollars.

I have never even heard of this group but I play everything through wine on Linux so if you compromise my weird setup fair play I guess
Is ovagames/ el amigos safe?
a say it this way im not an expert on torrent comunities, in reddit there's a lot of shit saying.
I u have win PC:
- AV for movies mp3 shows not programs
- there is a free utility that's called file in Linux, it detects via file headers the file so make a scrip to mail you when you have any exe in your movie's folder (check openai for this)
- maintain your software updated, get informed via RSS asap new versions arrive (mitigate vulnerabilities) +. Update your OS,be aware for msft mayor update releases, the second Tuesday of every month
- For programs use a vm to check if they are safe. Check out/in connections ,registry changes, google for more. Not share clipboard an folder should be read only
Safe pirating
