    Ugh. I only ever learn about these sites after they go under.

      It was a direct download site with links to every GOG game. It was good because it kept all the downloads up to date pretty consistently. Old school, no dealing with torrents unless you want to, just grab it from your browser. It’s still up for a little while at https://gog-games.to/

    That’s a shame. I need to make sure to grab a few games from them before they sink. 90 days? plenty of time still since this announcement.

    Thanks for your service.

    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

    If they shut down one site, hundreds more will rain CONTENT UPON US!

    If they cut off one head, two more shall take its place.

    Long Live Piracy.

      Trying games out is absolutely a thing. I’ve bought so many indie games because I tried them out and liked them, that I wouldn’t have taken a chance on.
