1337x admins allowing BG3 torrent with bitcoin miner stand after multiple reports in comments with proof, seems like the site lost it's credibility. Suspicious that the user is also shilling to donate to 1337x, suspecting him being somehow affiliated with 1337x mods

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.
