never pirated stuff before, is there anything i should know to proceed safely?
this is fitgir repacks, you should be okay raw
I'll second this with the caveat that if you're gonna go hog wild and download a LOT of games, get a vpn so your isp doesn't get mad. but if you're getting one game and maybe another every few months, you're too small of small fry for anyone to care
completely forgot some of yous live in places that actually give a shit about piracy, first class in my college was about pirating Autocad
I learned about how to pirate books from my college professor who got students to download a book from Z library.

Wait I thought we were boycotting fitgirl?
boycotting a free thing?
Okay I thought we were pirating games from elsewhere because Fitgirl is pro Israel? Now that I've typed that out, it sounds like a fever dream.
It's news to me. I did see a Twitter thread about it when I googled it but she isn't on the BDS list as far as I can tell (lol)
That's probably Empress
It's a Christmas miracle! But it's free every day on Fitgirl Repacks...
I'll reiterate that, to the best of my understanding using the documents that became public during Epic Games v. Apple, the developers are paid a lump sum in advance, so (the possessed corpse of) ZA/UM shouldn't see any additional benefit from you claiming the game as long as you don't inexplicably opt-in to their mailing list. I've also not seen any evidence to support the hypothesis that claiming and installing is any different from claiming but not installing, which should make sense if you look at the data from Epic in the linked comment.
They still get the data about installs and can hype their shareholders like "look how many people love our game, our next game will be a hit so please don't shut us down".
giving out the communism game on the consumerist holiday
what did they mean by this?
This needs to be pinned for the non-tech savvy people like me
