- ineedasername 5y agoStill risky. Any piracy of mine stopped once I had enough disposable income (and Steam etc. came along) to more conveniently buy the game. Which is an interesting commentary on the supposed lost sale for every pirate copy: when I couldn't afford it, there was no potential sale actually lost. I certainly understand budget-driven piracy though. Anyway, if you're running pirate copies of any variety, I'd recommend a sandbox of some sort. VMware Player is free, and in my experience faster than VirtualBox. It won't passthrough a dedicated GPU though so it would only be good for older games. you'd need Workstation Pro to get that. Or a Linux distro like Proxmox that runs a bare-metal hypervisor.
- deepsun 5y agoHonestly, I don't know any well-established and curated forums (except for rutracker, but that's Russian, and mostly movies and music).
- aasasd 5y agoI, ahem, heard that Rutracker also has games, and that it's pretty alright about marking content in English. Plus there's Google Translate for when the posts aren't that easy to grok.
