This is sad. gog-games is the most straightforward and elegantly simple site to get pirated games, all while being 100% safe

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

100%? How can one ever truly know?

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

Oh damn. I did not know this existed. Thank you.

[–] Tasakri@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really hope there's an alternative. This site was the best because it kept the games up-to-date

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's one listed at the notice...

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Torrents are not the same unfortunately

[–] Mylk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You need to look at the page, not just read the name...

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

This is what I got when I clicked the link they provided

gog-games is a piracy site that hosts torrents for games on GOG. The real GOG isn't shutting down.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Edit : The banner was on a different website gog-games.to

Even on gog-games i can't see that banner.

Neither on the official gog.

In fact I don't see OP banner on any GOG related website. And not on any site using the same logo at the top.

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Weird, it comes up for me:

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Ah it is indeed yet another gog-games domain.. Not to confuse with gog-games.org.

Also while searching for the .to website I just saw a report of a user suspecting a malware infection after downloading a game there.

Honestly, seeing how many websites share similar domains I would be very cautious browsing them...

But the banner is indeed real.

Edit : For more transparency, Here is the reddit post being suspicious about this site :

https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/1qb0whb/goggamesto_is_safe_not/

But there is also reports that says its safe for the games but to be careful with the ads on the site that might lead to dangerous stuff. Probably a good idea to browse with a decent adblocker at least.

[–] Yglorba@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

https://gog-games.to/ is a well-known site with a good reputation (but also, because Gog's games are signed, they couldn't slip malware into them without being caught anyway, which is part of the reason they have a good reputation in the first place. There's enough eyes on them that if they'd ever altered any of the game they put on their site they'd have been caught immediately.)

[–] morto@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

Maybe you have blocking rules preventing it from showing

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the clarification. I panicked for a second, too lol.

Ugh. I only ever learn about these sites after they go under.

It's one of the sites linked in the megathread.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 month ago

Thanks for everything!

It was one of the greatest safests places to get games.

[–] PiraHxCx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

what was this site? I used to have all my gog library shared on slsk, but right now I don't have enough storage to keep them on my pc

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

It's just a piracy website

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 month ago

One of my favorite websites, damn 😔

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 8 points 1 month ago

well I guess I'm gonna queue up torrents for all the games I was planning on downloading now

[–] liinux@pawb.social 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

gog-games didn't "shut down" in the past?

This is AWFUL news :/

[–] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Goddammit, first MagiPack, now this, who's next? I guess in the future the only way you'll be able to pirate games anymore is through torrents which you have no idea if they're safe or not?

Wow I thought this died years ago
