This seems like EXACTLY the type of game I would pirate, if I was still a teenager pirating games. Something without online play (or with online play that I don't care about) that looks kinda dumb but maybe it could be funny, and I don't feel like it's worth full price. So I would just pirate it, play it halfway through, get bored, and delete it.

I'm too old for that shit now, I don't want viruses on my PC because I store things on there that are actually IMPORTANT, instead of just porn and video games. But back then, I'd risk a virus for this mediocre-looking Suicide Squad game.

Understandable. But viruses arent that common from what I hear. Especially if you know your sources.

People Re coming back to pirating since all media becomes fractured, more expensive and worse.

Oh, pirating movies/TV/music is a totally different story, the risk of a virus is near zero if you're careful, because you're not running random .exe's. I said that I was done pirating video games, not that I was done pirating completely. 😄

Oh! Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense I guess. Will keep that in mind.
