MODERATORS
You'd be surprised how often none of that is touched, and I really doubt any repackers are bothering to block any network calls if the original scene release didn't. I've used some equivalent of OpenSnitch that prompts on all network requests that I haven't explicitly allowed already for the past decade, and at least 90% of all games I downloaded during that time tried to phone home.
ALWAYS set firewall rules to block internet access to any software you pirate.
