Found some interesting stuff on that site, but it's not in the megathread, so I was wondering if anyone else had experience with it.

edit: making the post title not link it

I've only grabbed two games from the site, the files seemed harmless but quality was lacking. One game consistently black screened across different pcs/OS I had, and the other was missing DLC/expansions that the site claimed to have bundled with the download. I'd double check if any specific communities based around whatever games has anything to say about the site, and acknowledge the possibility of something malicious slipping through if broken/missing files can.
