    I really hope there's an alternative. This site was the best because it kept the games up-to-date

    Thanks for everything!

    It was one of the greatest safests places to get games.

    This is sad. gog-games is the most straightforward and elegantly simple site to get pirated games, all while being 100% safe

    what was this site? I used to have all my gog library shared on slsk, but right now I don't have enough storage to keep them on my pc

    gog-games didn't "shut down" in the past?

    gog-games is a piracy site that hosts torrents for games on GOG. The real GOG isn't shutting down.

    Edit : The banner was on a different website gog-games.to

    Even on gog-games i can't see that banner.

    Neither on the official gog.

    In fact I don't see OP banner on any GOG related website. And not on any site using the same logo at the top.

    Ah it is indeed yet another gog-games domain.. Not to confuse with gog-games.org.

    Also while searching for the .to website I just saw a report of a user suspecting a malware infection after downloading a game there.

    Honestly, seeing how many websites share similar domains I would be very cautious browsing them...

    But the banner is indeed real.

    Edit : For more transparency, Here is the reddit post being suspicious about this site :

    https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/1qb0whb/goggamesto_is_safe_not/

    But there is also reports that says its safe for the games but to be careful with the ads on the site that might lead to dangerous stuff. Probably a good idea to browse with a decent adblocker at least.

    https://gog-games.to/ is a well-known site with a good reputation (but also, because Gog's games are signed, they couldn't slip malware into them without being caught anyway, which is part of the reason they have a good reputation in the first place. There's enough eyes on them that if they'd ever altered any of the game they put on their site they'd have been caught immediately.)

    Goddammit, first MagiPack, now this, who's next? I guess in the future the only way you'll be able to pirate games anymore is through torrents which you have no idea if they're safe or not?

    I been paranoid about hacked games for a while but this seems sad. It likes like there is some sort of safety feature. I guess you can check the validity of the installer and then the hash of the game straight from gog? That feels as legit as the screen can get if so. Wouldn’t mind trying to archive this for historical preservation reasons but I have to find time to get a walkthrough

    That's a shame. I need to make sure to grab a few games from them before they sink. 90 days? plenty of time still since this announcement.

    Thanks for your service.

    I got super confused for a second because I thought this was straight up GOG and thought it was because of that Nazi email that got sent out the other day lol

    If they shut down one site, hundreds more will rain CONTENT UPON US!

    If they cut off one head, two more shall take its place.

    Long Live Piracy.

    Trying games out is absolutely a thing. I've bought so many indie games because I tried them out and liked them, that I wouldn't have taken a chance on.

    funny thing, that's how I ended up buying Minecraft many moons ago. this was probably several months or so after Minecraft first started going viral, and from the screenshots I had seen it looked stupid. I downloaded a torrent to see what all these weirdos were playing so that I could make fun of them.

    I don't know how many hours I've put into Minecraft in the decade or so since, but it's definitely been more than any other game I've ever played.
