IGG-GAMES and PCGamesTorrents are now dangerous

EDIT: Probably a false alarm. There probably aren't bitcoin mining viruses in IGG-Games releases. Good work by Turtle_Tots.

However, they do sometimes inject advertisements into their games. Some kind of ugly "DRM" thing.

IGG is also considered untrustworthy by /r/piracy. Trusted sites can be found here. Search for 'trusted'.

So, we should probably be using a different site than IGG-Games or PCGamesTorrents, even if we don't get full on viruses from them.

Old post:

IGG-Games used to be trustworthy, but the owner stepped down. The new owner is evil.

They've been injecting their code into games for a while.

Now they're adding cryptominers to their releases.

RIP IGG-Games. You were my favorite for a long time.

FitGirl remains trustworthy.
