I’ve always bought my games on steam or OFFICIAL key resellers (GMG) since I was an adult, but sometimes it has got really expensive.

Do you consider ‘cracked games’ safe for your PC, your data, and finally your privacy?

You should always support developers, but it’s not always possible.

    GOG digitally signs their games and have no DRM, thus no need for cracks.

    If you can get a hold of a GOG version, you can check its validity.

    For games outside the GOG ecosystem, they are all unfortunately at risk.

    I played Baldur’s Gate 3 via a pirated GOG version on release with friends until I was able to afford my own copy, then moved the saved game over to the legit copy.
