      Meh this is one instance that just keeps getting reposted every couple days. Pirating executable files has always been a risk and brought with it issues like this. There is little risk with music, tv, and movies.

        All the more reason to have a list of safe(est) sites. I can’t always afford games and when I do I prioritize multiplayer ones so I can play with friends. If I really enjoy a single player game I’ll go back and dish out for it of course but there are way too many bad, halfbaked, cashgrab landmines that will outright rob me and others if we’re not careful. Games are the biggest industry right now which means it’s ripe for bad actors.

          The admins have nothing to do with this. The comments left on the torrent were from the uploaded and a single mod.

      No. 1337x isn’t any more or less dangerous than any other torrent site (except rarbg, rip). Can we all stop this nonsense?
