The post got removed, seems like OP had clicked an add and downloaded the wrong thing.


LowCarbCracker

facepalm


EmperorXenu

idk why this is still up here. OP is clearly just a moron.


cambeiu

Never forget what they did to Good Old Downloads.


jenabaivab

What did they do?


[deleted]

I forgot


comphys

damn it greg, i asked you to do _one_ thing


37025InvernessTMD

Greg please add details


OMG_Alien

iirc they doxed the owners and forced them to shutdown with threats of reporting them.


jenabaivab

Reporting them for what? I mean aren't the people over at IGG also hosting pirated games?


OMG_Alien

They threatened that they had/were going to report their irl info to Anti-Piracy corporations. Idk who that would be but if they’re hosting a site for pirating then even telling the cops.


squat251

They report it to google and other engines, then the engines would skip over GOG and show IGG. It's a fools game, but its the one they were committed to playing.


69pot8os

I don't think you know what you're talking about


squat251

I'm regurgitating what was said when this was news. Feel free to update us on how google's site analytics work, but I'm pretty confident flagging a site for copywrite is a sure way to get it bumped down the list of searched sites.


LeafExpose

They even doxed IGG owner too. It think he is from Thailand or something like that... But good on them for doxing IGG...


Kheiran

When Mercs doxxed IGG, he just had two names (two brothers in asia) to go by, When IGG doxxed Mercs he had names, addresses, photos, links to social media, links to family members of Mercs, etc. All because Mercs thought IGG was reuploading his GOG games he uploaded which who knows is true or not, fact of the matter is they're both reuploading stolen games, claiming ownership of that sort of nonsense is beyond stupid.


[deleted]

So mercs doxxed IGG because IGG were reuploading GOG uploads. Then IGG doxxed Mercs in reply but much better. Mercs was mad IGG was stealing his stolen uploads? Sounds like mercs got what he deserved.


LeafExpose

Thanks for letting me know! much appreciated!


Kheiran

They were doxxed first, and retaliated, funny how people keep forgetting the truth.


OMG_Alien

Like I said, I’m just going from what I remember so thanks for clearing that up!


Kheiran

ah I didn't mean you directly, just people on reddit keep remembering things differently, the owner of GOD picked a fight he couldn't win over something very silly and got his ass handed to him in return. But if you ask anyone here they'll claim IGG is super Hilter and that he went back in time to destroy GOD from ever existing. Too much broken telephone and not enough facts :/


RedditAreStupidAF

Considering how shady they always were, with the BS they regularly do at this point, I find that hard to believe considering the only thing to go by was there word.


Kheiran

It's not "their word", it's the truth.


RedditAreStupidAF

Based on what?


waytooerrly

Based on what actually happened.


RedditAreStupidAF

So you're not going to say according to who, and offer zero information?... Edit: Thought you were the same guy.


waytooerrly

It's all good. It was publicly available information. GOD doxxed IGG on their website because they said IGG were reporting them to Google or something, but they really didnt provide any evidence of it. IGG retaliated.


Kheiran

Why would I do your own research? the info is out there.


skulgnome

Well I'm sure that makes all the difference.


Tornada5786

Right, because doxxing them out of the blue and doxxing them because they got doxxed previously are the same thing.


skulgnome

Indeed, by play-school rules he who shoots first is in the wrongest. This is fine because play-school drama does not offline warez, and isn't exploitable by antipiracy organizations in other ways either.

everything in there is a GoG store release which are DRM free.

yeah, it's a great place to get GOG updates.

They didn't get everything sadly enough, old GOD had cracked games AND ROMs.

why are we downvoting someone who just doesnt know what they did? jesus christ


rachetmarvel

LeafExpose

I will never.


revanchrists

stop reading at " similar to what skidrow uses on their site ". It's 2020 yet some smartass still can't differentiate actual skidrow scene group from some random game download site misusing the name.


[deleted]

ive been using a skidrowreloaded page for a while now and never had a problem actually, i know its not official but it works fine


rioimans

Me too, and they also provide the link to steam/egs/gog on each game page. Its a nice gesture. Hope Fitgirl, Ovagames and other piracy site do the same.


[deleted]

Yeah that should be kind of a standard at this point but i guess they know not much people will even bother in opening the steam page.


hotala

he is not talking about skidrowreloaded, he is talking about other website, i was using skidrowreloaded since 2014, i really like them because they share scene rls torrent so fast, even they share early access and updated games. never had problem with them.


[deleted]

Ye i know, just saying that even tho is not an official page it's still good, although there are 56 skidrow sites that are maldware so it's not surprising that someone like the igg dude falls for dumb shit like that.


As4shi

Legit question: Is there a reason to use such a site instead of a regular torrent site ? Like 1337x etc. I'm not judging or anything, just curious.


[deleted]

Skidrow or igg have other direct download links aside from torrents, so i use it because it's more convenient when i want to download light weight games


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kuldor

Not really, anyone who has spent a small time downloading cracked games knows scene groups don't have websites. fitgirl, piratebay, kickass, etc ain't scene groups.


wideload1971

I agree with your first point but I don't believe they're claiming them as scene groups. They are using them as an example of original sites/sources that have imitation sites pop up with very similar names to catch people out. :-)


[deleted]

Piracy subs and people who don't know what they're doing, why am I not surprised?


13irth2

They obviously clicked something wrong. Using ublock origin will prevent this kind of thing from happening. Read the comments in the post.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jaKz9

Well, thing is there aren't better alternatives, unless you torrent. They have megaup links on every game, and that is the fastest free hoster I've ever seen in my life. Ovagames and Fitgirl for example, don't offer that.


flavored_icecream

> unless you torrent. And what's wrong with that? I've always thought that torrenting is the best way opposed to the ad-riddled and limited speed download sites.


jaKz9

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. In my case, with proper direct download sites such as Megaup or Google Drive, I can use my internet speed to the max. I don't think I've ever been able to do that on torrents, or at least to keep the speed stable throughout the whole download. That's why I prefer DDL.


Grand_Piracy_Auto

It is. But not everyone lives in a country that gives zero shits about torrenting and they don't want to pay for a vpn


_Kinju_

i won't say where to look, but finding free nordvpn account dumps is pretty easy


ExtremussPrime

You could also get Freedome VPN with the 5 days trial reset, that works perfect. In USA or Europe, should work even better.


Anxious_Mind585

A lot of torrents, especially for less common or early access games, are from igg-games. It's hard to avoid them if you want up-to-date games and you don't want to fuck around with csru (for example, I don't like that they primarily use gdrive).


[deleted]

Well ... what are these better alternatives?


idontliketosleep

Wait what's wrong with fitgirl? I've not had issues yet


vernon9398

there are **FAKE** fitgirl sites pretending to be the real one.


idontliketosleep

Ahh that's a relief, I thought there was something wrong with fitgirl themselves, luckily their link is easy to remember


[deleted]

rachetmarvel

idontliketosleep

Judging by the downvotes you're just pulling shit put of your ass, would you mind elaborating?


Nitan17

Ah yes, because the reddit hivemind is never wrong and all downvotes are legitimate. Seriously, if you gauge whether a post is true or not solely by the amount of upvotes you are in for a bad time. There always were allegations that Fitgirl was involved in numerous doxxings, also the recent post u/tomikaka is talking about was deleted by mods without a word, it was about DODI's site being attacked with Fitgirl being involved, most of it is preserved here: http://removeddit.com/r/CrackWatch/comments/hhqo7s/why/. I'd say Fitgirl is definitely in the grey zone of trustworthiness, there's way too much suspicious crap happening around them to just be a coincidence or false accusations. As usual in these matters, exercise caution and decide yourself which sources to trust; whether to keep using Fitgirl's repacks or to stop. But please do so using more than just upvotes as a metric, Jesus.


Spartan-219

Yes they do I think I've found 3 igg games site and one of them is real tho idk which one


Gaming_and_Football

igg-games . com


Hit_By_A_Train

If you're a Pirate and you don't use Ublock origin plus other extensions like cookie autodelete then you have no one else to blame but yourself


TwitchHothotgoodies

Apparently the OP was just an idiot lmao. He/She is referencing ads that are literally found on every piracy site and even some non-piracy sites xD


marr_pt

If i remember correctly, he said he didnt use any adblocker. So, he found the usual ads with malware or the usual fake download button and put his voice in the sky that the site has malware infected downloads.


[deleted]

bruh was almost about to comment about how IGG literally caused the holocaust


Kuldor

??? How on earth does this crap have 1k+ upvotes on r/piracy? I just went to igg, downloaded "hunting moon vol2" via gdrive and it's a normal Darksiders release with an iso file, just like any release. Proof, with their url files: https://i.gyazo.com/c83c244a8d1dfc7c1774ddd650240318.png


[deleted]

people just want to follow the narrative. prolly gonna get downvoted for this but I personally been using them with no problem whatsoever, just copy the link and use Jdownloader, simple easy.


Spen_Masters

Crackwatch: Don't use IG-Games, use sites in the beginners guide. Also Crackwatch: Use 1337x, where almost all the games are uploaded by IG.

ExodiusDB

All the repacks that I have, that came from u/fitgirllv have a link in the lower left part of the setup that says "***My repacks and music***". Clicking on it leads to her official webpage (not those scammer ones). Repacks also (for the most part that I encountered) come with an .url link named "***FitGirl releases on 1337x***".


leungss

I think they are refering to the pop up download wizard when you visit the site, not the actual iso. Any tech savvy person would ignore those pop up download wizards.


Kuldor

any tech savy person won't see those pop ups because they have a properly configured adblock.


[deleted]

the original post was complaining how they download a game on IGG and end up with an exe in which they said "just like how skidrow use in their site" and then proceed to install it, they don't even get an iso because they click at the wrong link. which makes it obvious that the original OP was dumb. but hey because it's "IGG bad" then upvote. I'm not saying IGG are good, they've done shitty thing in the past. but I hate when I see something is wrongfully accused. especially when it's their own fault but blaming others.


Dre2timez

Safe than sorry i guess


ExtremussPrime

Hey, just to help prevent you a bad time. I posted a Gyazo link in cs rin ru, and a few hours later, received a mail that someone got into the Gyazo account, so avoid posting it freely. Proof [https://imgur.com/a/1VTqeK7](https://imgur.com/a/1VTqeK7)

I use gyazo for fast screenshots of stuff like this, I could get hacked and lose the account and I wouldn't mind at all, would just create another one, but thanks for your time!

gokukog

I don't know why people get so much trouble with IGG-games. I have been using there games a lot for years and I never experienced any sort of injectors/virus/trojan etc. All they have is a lot of ad sites before download which sometimes have virus but that is where your anti virus comes into play. Even that can be skipped very quickly once you get used to it haha.


[deleted]

how is this still up and getting upvote when the original post are already been deleted and proved to be false?


xyz2theb

every since i found cs.rin i havent used any other site to get games in years. And i agree, ublock origin should be active on every pc no matter what your using the pc for.


dancingUltraJew

Didn't IGG owner doxx not only GOD's owner but his family as well, and then when he got backlash for it, ran away like a soy filled bitch he was? Vo Viet Phap is a bitch ass, and always will be a bitch ass.


Ex_Machina_1

I'm no IGG fan, but IGG only did it in response to GOD doing it first on the strength of accusations that GOD (merc213) never actually proved. Whether he was right or wrong, he started it.


dancingUltraJew

Dude from GOD doxxed only Vo Viet Phap, while that viernamese bitch ass doxxed GOD's guy's family as well. Maybe he's mentally challenged as a result of his parents being on the receiving end of Agent Orange, but not even that excuses it.


Ex_Machina_1

thats how warfare works buddy. You start something, and the usual reaction is to escalate it. Very simple, if GOD didnt want his information out there, he shouldn't of doxxed IGG first. Cant get mad when he started it


dancingUltraJew

Warfare also is regulated, to minimize civilian casualties. Unless you're USA, and nuke/firebomb civilians, because victors write history books. Well, the end of it is that IGG is disgraced, Vo Viet Phap ran away in shame, and GOD is back under new name. Vietcong won the battle, but lost the war.


Ex_Machina_1

Lol IGG is still up and running and is a top uploader on 1337x.


Kyrn--

yep loser through an through


FXSZero

People should stay away from this shitty site, when I see friends downloading games from there I usually do the analogy that they are the epic games of piracy, and link any other site or the GitHub sitelist, along with explaining how trash igg is.


rayman3003

Please remove this bullshit post from CrackWatch.


CruciFuckingAround

\> I'll restore a recent backup of my boot drive. ​ that sounds extreme , any other ways to remove that extension ?


[deleted]

It usually takes a good scrub down in all the random places it may be, it's a pain in the ass, but it's not necessarily hard, usually. Really depends on how bad the "extension" is (Also do note the original OP is a fucking idiot lmao so this is probably some random trash)


[deleted]

Weren't they using some JavaScript to do some mining with your computer like one or two years ago ? Scummy website, they should feel ashamed of themselves


Groundbreaking_Bread

Original OP is an idiot, he ran a program from an ad. IGG is fine.


acenia17

Yes it's absolutely fine.. I've been using it for years


bidomo

I see no problem in that, they have to get something somehow and at least they're not putting miners on games


_Kinju_

that's what their shitty ads are for


bidomo

Oh sorry I didn't know it would take you hours or days to click on a magnet and close the page


_Kinju_

so you'd rather have your computer used to mine crypto that you won't get than admit that it's a shitty practice?


bidomo

I rather see it how it is, it's just a couple seconds, maybe minutes to do, and their not making 5000 full bitcoins from you, maybe a couple Satoshi and that's it


_Kinju_

they deadass inject adware...


bidomo

Well then stay away from them, I haven't dld anything from them ever so...

lalalaladididi

stick to torrents or downloads from elsewhere. plenty offer them if you look


bgates276

When I was on fitgirls site(http://fitgirl-repacks.site/), I clicked on one of the links of a game, and when I clicked download, it also downloaded something called an installer, in some zipped format, which was picked up by Windows Defender as a potential virus. I promptly removed it though. Was this supposed to happen?


Rare_Professional

Yes, but i'm happy to get the virus from beautiful fitgirl, not this shit.

Rengar_Is_Good_kitty

I'd advise you not to believe everything you see like when people made shit up about getting viruses for just going on the website, "JavaScript installing adware into your cookies" I mean come on this is just laughable, it seems like nobody knows how cookies work. Another thing is that people like to use virus programs as a way to prove the site has viruses just because their AV detected it as a virus, they aren't viruses they're merely just ads (Not exactly good ads but ads nonetheless). Or game files having viruses, it's well known that AV's detect cracked games as false positives, I've had my AV block far more games from Fitgirl than IGG, they're just false positives. Not saying IGG is to be trusted but a lot of things said about them is straight up false and often the people that make nonsense up don't know how anything works like viruses, cookies and whatnot. This very post we are currently on is false lol.


Trinity1811

True, the JS adware thing is probably bs. My main concerns withh IGG are the DRM thing the Doxing accusations and the overall scummy shady way of conducting business
