There’s not a lot of brave souls doing this as a passionate hobby any longer. Now it’s for the clout, to inject malware, or to receive monetary donations. Or all three!

I hope I am wrong, and we can get back to the passionate hobby, but it’s looking kinda grim from my point of view.

its always been for the clout in the scene. but ive been pirating shit for a couple of decades now, no malware so far.

If you have been doing it for a decade, then surely you’ve noticed the drop in active crackers…?

you can still pirate games without getting malware, even if a little late.

Yeah. Piracy is alive-and-well. You can even acquire and play PS5 games right now if you wanted to.
