      gog-games is a piracy site that hosts torrents for games on GOG. The real GOG isn’t shutting down.

          They’re actually donating their excess funds, that doesn’t exactly scream ‘going under’.

    Goddammit, first MagiPack, now this, who’s next? I guess in the future the only way you’ll be able to pirate games anymore is through torrents which you have no idea if they’re safe or not?

    I been paranoid about hacked games for a while but this seems sad. It likes like there is some sort of safety feature. I guess you can check the validity of the installer and then the hash of the game straight from gog? That feels as legit as the screen can get if so. Wouldn’t mind trying to archive this for historical preservation reasons but I have to find time to get a walkthrough
