Then I'm not obligated to pay for games for a while.

There are decades of great games I've never played and the steamdeck is more than capable of most that I want to play. I'm satisfied to wait it out.

But then the potential viruses. How would someone go about locking down their ship?

Edit: I guess a separate hard drive would do.

if you only use reputable crackers/repackers youre not likely to get a virus. fitgirl is my go to. she has so many games the only times she hasnt had a game its been a very niche indie title, and buying those supports real developers not scummy ceos and investors. ive been torrenting games for decades at this point and the only times ive gotten a virus is downloading a new release from some rando.

But any file could say "FitGirl" and its not like some person or organization will vouch for them due to fear of being caught?

[-] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago

no she has a website you can go get the torrent from the source. yeah there are fakers but do some due diligence and youll be fine.

It is important for anyone reading this to realize two things:

  1. If you haven’t torrented or similar since 2010, it’s different than you remember. Much more organized.
  2. most Fortune 500 companies are more predatory and invasive than most pirate sites anymore. It’s good to be on your guard, but by and large the the communities where you find stuff self regulate really well.

Just an FYI, viruses don't care if they are on separate drives.

I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
