        Yeah, the other day I’d gone to play another older game I had already pirated and played loads, but not for a while, and it suddenly wouldn’t run without steam. Like tf? So I deleted it and pirated an updated copy that runs fine lol

        I refuse to use these kinds of 3rd party services, I just want a copy of the game that I know is safe on my machine.

        E: speaking of which - I’ve just been testing the games I downloaded off the back of this post, and one is now stuck looking for steam subscriptions before it will run, on to the next!

          I do wonder how pirated games can somehow stop working after a while. I’m guessing there’s some sort of anti-piracy thing that hasn’t quite been fully removed. I had this experience with one game which was known to have Denuvo; a newer crack fixed it.

      Fair enough! Not trying to guilt or pass judgement.

      Have you used windows sandbox before? I’ve used it with success back when I used cracked executables.
