It's not that old, just a bit niche.

I was looking for a pretty niche indie game, but I wanted to try it out before purchasing... The only link that still works is made by a user who made their account 4 years ago and about 700 posts, but also 1 warning.

How do I know whether or not I should trust this link?

Anyone who downloaded the GOG Baldur's Gate 3 release from 1337x, scan with Malwarebytes asap! in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Wait- Empress isn't cracking Denuvo anymore!? Does that mean all denuvo games are just out of reach now?

I don't live in the US, so my ISP doesn't really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren't cheap and I'm on a strict budget (wouldn't pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?
