Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

This seems like EXACTLY the type of game I would pirate, if I was still a teenager pirating games. Something without online play (or with online play that I don't care about) that looks kinda dumb but maybe it could be funny, and I don't feel like it's worth full price. So I would just pirate it, play it halfway through, get bored, and delete it.
I'm too old for that shit now, I don't want viruses on my PC because I store things on there that are actually IMPORTANT, instead of just porn and video games. But back then, I'd risk a virus for this mediocre-looking Suicide Squad game.
Understandable. But viruses arent that common from what I hear. Especially if you know your sources.
People Re coming back to pirating since all media becomes fractured, more expensive and worse.
Oh, pirating movies/TV/music is a totally different story, the risk of a virus is near zero if you're careful, because you're not running random .exe's. I said that I was done pirating video games, not that I was done pirating completely. 😄
Oh! Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense I guess. Will keep that in mind.
