Whats the catch? Websites like this and fitgirl repacks make it look so easy.

As a console gamer i'm baffled. How do companies even make money when Denuvo is being cracked withing 7 days now?

The catch is:

>Israeli/CIA spyware virus and backdoors installed
>keylogger malware
>hidden crypto hijack of your pc running in background

no such thing as free

third worlders all pirate
they wouldn't buy the game anyway, 1 video game there = 1 month rent

No. Piracy generally comes with malware. In the case of Pragmata I think it grants full access to your pc access to malicious parties.
Steam is the worst malware though.
Any PC connected to the internet is completely and utterly compromised. All privacy gone. All information stolen. Life ruined and destroyed,. Love impossible. Your significant other raped.

>is pirating games this easy?
Depends on the game, but usually yes.
I've pirated ALL the Crapcom and Jewnami games the past 10+ years now, because fuck those yakuza fuckers for raping their creative teams and their IPs.

>Whats the catch?
You gotta either wait, or avoid malware honeypots / scam. Both are practically nothingburgers, unless you are a moron.

>How do companies even make money
Whales, AKA early-adopter normalfags, pay most of their income.
Also, contrary to the popular corpohomo narratives, PC gamers buy shittons of vidya each year. We just do NOT pay 60 to 90 bucks for some single-use AAA movie sloppa with terrible optimization.

Similarly, EU's own study condacted a decade ago found out that piracy as a whole barely has any effect on the overall sales of any media. They reeeally wanted to prove that it has a huge, negative impact on the product sales, so they tried to bury the study papers afterwards. And failed.

Yeah repacks made it retard proof

I've been pirating shit for 25 years, and I have never gotten infected with anything.

how do you know? it's not like a flashing popup will appear and say "YOU ARE INFECTED LMAO"

>I've been pirating shit for 25 years, and I have never gotten infected with anything.

oh you have, you're just not important enough to be targeted. I guarantee you they have backdoors installed and have audio/pics of you doing all types of shit sent to Israel server.

If you ever get famous or important, you will know

>>739738642
That website confuses me too. It's really well made like they're making a commercial service but it's all just pirated games. It's very odd I've never encountered anything like it and I've been pirating shit for nearly 30 years.

People that would buy it do so.
People that wouldn't buy it never do whether or not piracy exists. The few exceptions are insignificant.
Devs/publishers lose no resources upon a game being pirated.
All piracy boils down to is whether or not you believe it's right if someone enjoys it without paying. Some say no, others say yes like that Ultrakill dev who said art/culture shouldn't be only for those who can afford it, it's a highly subjective matter of opinions so never expect one side to change their mind.

I already pirated and finished Pragmata. Game is mediocre. Before that game I pirated cod bo cold war.
My pc is fine, and i saved a few hundred bucks.

Meanwhile, Sony get hacked annually, where private data is stolen for real with banking data but consoleplebs wont speak about it. Also, smorkphones.

>Piracy generally comes with malware
scare tactics of shills to prevent people start pirating software

>In the case of Pragmata I think it grants full access to your pc access to malicious parties
source? shill handbook vol. 67

>Steam is the worst malware though.
it´s tame in comparsion to shit like epic game store, ubiplus or rockstar club.
>>
If you're going to pirate, make sure you don't use your PC for anything else like banking or whatever. Assume the PC is compromised. Then do as much research as you can in pirating communities about which crackers are legit and the trade offs of each type of crack.

You already have that in your CPU.

They make money because they have trained normies and shills to panic sell people how you are going to get virus/hacked if you do it.
But yes, nowadays it's that easy, and no, you are not going to get anything if you go to proved sites.
If by some reason there's anything weird the antivirus/malwarebytes will tell you, just don't believe "false positives", we are not in 2010 where you had to install cracks yourself.

i think we are in an era of AI. Anybody can produce quality looking sites now for less effort. Same with Denuvo cracking. Rumor is that the latest cracker is using ai to help speed it up

>How do companies even make money
By having customers that buy their games understanding that they give them money to continue developing videogames and can't just get everything free forever and also have enough disposable income to do so?

I mean for people to do this the games don't even have to be good. Slam pokemon on it and it prints money, no functional game needed.

There is giving money to companies and there is playing videogames and sometimes these 2 (used to) go together but sometimes - they don't.

Just see it as always having a great demo available. If you like the game, buy it, maybe wait for a sale. But you can play it all the while already.

Not everything is cooked like console markets where you have to have a monthyl subscription to connect the console to the internet or let out a fart.

Cool man, I hope they enjoy pictures/audio of me holding in my shits for the free prostate stimulation
>>
>>739741527
You never needed AI to make a shiny website. There's been plenty of software to do that for you for at least a decade and a half, probably longer.
Most people just don't have anywhere to host it now that geoshit/tripod/etc aren't giving everyone a spacek, and social media is enough for the ones who just wanted a space to post a few things.

I met an autistic Jewish faggot that kept trying to convince me empress and fitgirl weren’t men.
They’re so obviously fucking men you chump.

>how do you know?
If nothing bad happened in 2 decades, I'm pretty qualified to say that I know and have known for those 2 decades. Not being retarded also helps, phone kid.
>>
>>739738642
The catch is that you will get malware onto your PC.
>>
it seems like all you have to do to make it super easy is install hydra launcher, add sources, buy a debrid (which you should have anyway), and its equivelent to steam but for cracked games. Im still too much of a pussy to play pirated games on the same PC i do banking on. maybe someday ill reformat this PC and do banking on my phone only

why does it make tendies seethe so much
>>
>>739738642
Yeah, just don't go to some random website and install shit without scanning it first.
>>
>>739738642
Just go with fitgirl if you're new, many of these sites hide malware.
>>
>>739738642
Do it
>>
Most of the time I dont even need to cut paste a crack to the right folder anymore. It's just download and install. Have been doing this for 25+ years now and I never got malware or a bitcoin miner. Anyone that says shit about having to scan everything and backdoors and shit is just a fearmongering denuvo shill. Use your brain, use cs.rin or even fitgirl if you really want to be sure it's safe.
>>
>>739744797
Holy it's the Hebrew Heartthrob himself

>>739738642
idk all the sites went offline and then came up with professional web design at the same time. it's probably nothing. :)
