Instead the one that actually ratfucks my data is the game manufacturer that I've paid $100 for the game.

Huh? What are those?

Oh, hand of the hdd, I guess. But still don't understand what that has to do with vim. Sorry for being dense lol.

vi vi vi

I'm a beast, baby!

Thanks for the gem kind stranger.

Let's not be fooled by memes and buzz. Crackers don't crack it to infect your computer and make money. They do it to le t others play the game. They benefit by getting to play some other game someone else has cracked and distributing. And maybe they enjoy it as it's challenging. Cracking isn't about infecting people's computers. When some pirated game comes with some ransomware or trojan injected, probably it's been done by someone else whose passion is totally different than that of the cracker. They take the crack, modify it and then redistribute it malware injected. So, maybe, by downloading popular torrents, I mean if you make sure it comes directly from the cracker group, you can avoid malware except the spyware the game manufacturer has put into it, of course.
