How would someone, hypothetically, pirate Baldur's Gate 3 without being able to torrent? angielski

I am interested in how pirates on the internet (which i am not) would get there hands on the files to a game, just, for example, Baldur’s Gate 3, without torrenting? Now, I have heard tell of a place where these nefarious no-gooders would do this, for example gog-games.to. But, once they have acquired the file, what steps to...

7Sea_Sailor,

The archive you download from gog-games includes some data files and a setup.exe. You launch the setup, tell it where to install, and wait. Once it’s done, you launch the game from the start menu, and enjoy. There’s no magic to it.

7Sea_Sailor,

Keep in mind that the files received from this site are identical to the files you would get on the official store. That’s why it’s so beautiful.

Why go all this way to build this stack on German hardware under the constant risk of being found out by copyright holders and being fined hundreds if not thousands of euros - when you could just get a seedbox that’s automatically configured for exactly this purpose and can run all the apps you need? Look at ultra.cc for example, they just work, don’t cost a lot of money and don’t annoy you with DMCA notices. And if you dislike their price or anything else, there’s limitless options out there.

7Sea_Sailor,

Ultra is what I personally have been using for a while now without a single problem. But as I already said, there are plenty of other hosters with the same featureset, though I cannot make specific recommendations - but the seedboxes community on reddit may.

Regarding the DMCA, usually these hosters base their operations out of countries with lax or nonexistant copyright laws, allowing them to simply disregard incoming takedown notices. In Ultra’s case, they claim to forward copyright notices to the respective server owner, but I have yet to receive a single notice. Though I’m also exclusively on private trackers, maybe thats a reason too.

7Sea_Sailor,

The review embargo was lifted with the start of the early access, meaning that all the regular review channels that received review copies have already posted their content.

7Sea_Sailor,

This is only true sometimes. Some crackers will change the save location for some games, and the location where the save will be stored is entirely dependant on how the cracker has removed or emulated the DRM. I’ve also had the pleasure of the crack-save not being compatible with the genuine-save, meaning I couldn’t transfer my savedata after purchasing a game. Though I don’t know how frequent that is.

I don’t know how it works for this particular Cyberpunk crack.

7Sea_Sailor,

Yes and no. If you get the DRM-free GOG release directly, you would not have this problem. Since this person stated they used the DODI repack, they’re now dependant on which release DODI used for his repack, since it may well be a Steam or Epic Games release.

I quickly looked it up, and the repack is based on the InsaneRamZes release, which in turn is based on either GOG or EGS, depending on which forum post you go by. So I’m not 100 % sure what’s actually being used here. According to the PCGamingWiki, there’s no difference in save location between the different stores, so best case scenario, OP can simply update the game to V2 and everything should be picked up.

7Sea_Sailor,

i’ve been very happy with www.teamos.xyz. It’s (at least in part) a torrent tracker, and I’m not sure if it considers itself public or private, but I’ve found most of the software I’ve ever looked for there. You’re probably not gonna be as lucky if looking for niche stuff, but it’s worth a shot.

7Sea_Sailor,

Afaik, free deezer accounts can only pull 128kbps mp3, no flacs.
