I got out of video game piracy for a while, but I’m coming back. One thing I have been absolutely SHOCKED by is how finding PC game torrents is actually kind of difficult from my normal sources. Now it’d be one thing if I just wasn’t seeing games, but for some reason Playstation and Switch have far more uploaders and seeders on the sites. This is something that would have been unthinkable when I was into piracy. But from a quick glance, it looks like the Switch has a bigger piracy scene than PCs do right now. This was so extreme I couldn’t find a torrent for Minecraft past 1.12. I found a download, but not a torrent. Or I couldn’t find any of the old versions of Five Nights At Freddy’s on PC, but could find them on other platforms. Things I’d consider true PC staples of the past decade with absolutely nothing popping up in my normal sources.

I’m not asking where to find PC torrents (although I certainly wouldn’t mind). Are consoles actually becoming more popular to pirate for?

      Yeah, OP of this thread (me) actually has schizophrenia. Being a right wing shithead isn’t the same as being schizophrenic. Schizo is just the new way people have of calling people “autistic” like people did a decade ago.

        meow-hug sorry you had to see people being shitty about it. i really wish folks would understand that mental illness does not make you a bad person, and that our enemies are bad people because they choose to be hateful bigots, not bc they’re born with spicy brain.
