Key piracy threat, that doesn't crack games.

Then offer better downloads? FitGirl's repacks exist because some people have incredibly shitty ISPs that impose harsh data caps with dogshit speeds. Downloading an uncompressed 70gb game is just not going to happen, what do these companies suggest people do? Purchase their games and never successfully download them?

Note: this is not about modding games to have muscle mommies or !fitmoe@lemmy.world characters.

Missed opportunity.

If I can't own it, you shouldn't get anything from me.

Although I did buy the factorio DLC. They earned it.

The amount of hours of fun that game has given me, it was practically free anyways.
Looking forward to playing the DLC

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The amount of content in the dlc is unbelievable

Good, they even compiled a list of sources.

It's the only trustworthy site I know. I hope they don't destroy it :(

fmhy.net ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Is that some sort of aggregator aggregator?

Seems nice

I don't even bother with games since steam has better service but this fitgirl is a giga 🇹🇩

I dont buy on steam though either grey market keys or code on gamestop. Got to break up these monopolies somehow lol

These corpos got a union to fight her so she must be doing something right.

Remember folks, corpos are not people and they are inherently a threat actor to anyone who is working or buying. Treat them as such.

I remember at least one indie dev saying that they would prefer you pirate the game instead of using key resellers as they tend to cost the devs lots of time and money dealing with credit card fraud.

Giga Romania? Does it contain Hungary? /s

"Threat?"

"Markets?"
