why aren't r/piratedgames here? I thought they migrated to lemmy too (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Not to start a war, but I think the place here is better for free discussion of games piracy. the lemmy community they site on their subreddit is literally dead, has just one or two posts. It would have been good if a rival community to r/piratedgames appears here on dbzer0 too, I mean r/piracy is still there, but this place is better, right ?

Honestly, pirating anything with an executable in it is just asking for something to happen. The hoops required to mitigate these risks, especially when games mostly now are online with a multiplayer component, I can understand why game-piracy would really only be for the people who are REALLY hardcore into AAA titles. Most of the stuff I purchase now is indie and ends up being better than AAA titles, and it's cheap enough that I don't really even want to pirate it.

Additionally, lemmy just doesn't have the eyeballs that Reddit has...still. I can understand someone's justification if they stayed over there. I got site-banned once just for reporting a mod for child-predatory statements, and I literally hadn't even made a comment. Just reporting the post got me banned. So I'm over here hiding from child predators.

I play a lot of older AAA games and piracy has been a life saver. I tried playing Assassin’s Creed 4 with a legit steam copy and couldn’t even play offline because of the stupid Ubisoft launcher. With a pirated copy, you skip the launcher and get a better experience than a paying customer. Just stick to reputable groups like fitgirl and you’re fine

Ubisoft Launcher is the worst.
