I'm not against pirating, but given how long it's taken to crack some of the stuff I was waiting for, and watching things drop to like $10 from a $60 title after a year or two, now I just perpetually wait 2 years until I buy any game. Pirating movies, music, and other 'consumables'...great. Pirating executable content, no fucking thank you. I learned that lesson as a teenager, and I'm not going to put my computer at risk in that way any longer.
Just too many hoops to jump through to maintain a secure PC when pirating games/applications. Anyone who thought 1337 was "safe" to begin with, is fucking stupid.
With a miner for a game with online content then virtual machine doesn't save you. It may keep.your data safe but still uses your resources for mining.
Fair point depends how long you play the game for and also how the miner works though. Is.it only.mimimg while the game is running, that may be easier to slip past a virus checker.
