A game I downloaded after following the Megathread activated Windows Defender. Most searches in the reddit showed that it was a False Positive but I checked in Virus Total just in case and found this. The website was RePack-Games (I read the note but I didn't find the game on the Goat sites), the game was Dynasty Warriors 8. I'd like to ask what my next course of action is here. The game also wouldn't load after the cutscene when u select a character.

I run my pirated games in Linux sandboxed using firejail (Wine itself doesn't sandbox anything as it's only an adaptor layer) configured to block a lot of things including network access.

Then again I also run my non-pirated games in Linux in the same way.
