    False positive, most of the detections list them es generic or vmprotect. If you still dont trust it you can make your own fix, there are tools for that on rin.

    Now that I know a bit more about security and obfuscation I rather not use any pirated games/software anymore. If they know how to crack/reverse engineer some complicated stuff, you can be sure they add some shady stuff in it.

      Crackers don’t do it for a living lol
      They’re normal people with normal, often 9-5, jobs; who just bought a gamr and want to help more people get their hands on that game even through pay walls and region restrictions.

      Back in the early days we did it for competition/sports and maybe “fame” . Not for monetary reasons. Most of us never knew financial problems due to employers fighting over us 😁

      Can’t speak for the modern crews. But it’s still unlikely. Other crews would find out, call out and their reputation would be done for. Not worth it as there are other options to get some bucks out of it

      That would earn them a percent of a percent of what they would through donations or running ads on their site. And they would be able to do it only once.

      Then don’t and pay every streaming service, game and software.

      The most pointless, baseless and factless argument ever.

      If you genuinely think crackers earn lots of money through cracking games, you sure are uneducated.
