1·25 days ago“DLL finder”, holy shit I remember tools like that… God, now that I know how shared libraries work, that’s kinda terrifying people just saw that error message and downloaded whatever the fuck they found whereever they found it…
Must be how some malware spread.
Is there an advanced white paper that describes the baby fur to Nazi fur pipeline in relation to Elon Musk?

I’d say ethics aside, it’s inherently dangerous to pirate executable files… so there’s an argument to just not do it to avoid viruses.
I personally would never pirate an executable file for that reason alone. A lot of games have demos these days thankfully, so that’s a way to get a taste and see if it’s worth buying. And in my experience, I got bored of several demos and saved money! And some I realized I would probably really enjoy it.
Ethically though? I mean, if they offer a demo and they’re an indie studio, I think it’s much more ethical to try the demo.
