    On topic, can someone clarify if/why IGG is bad?

    They seem to have quite the following and popular on 1337x. Not a joke/troll, genuinely curious.

      From the old Megathread: “These are not recommended on this subreddit as trusted sites for various reasons, but the main reasons why igg-games is not recommended is due to their history of shady behavior”

      They have put miners, keyloggers and bunch of weird shit in their installations in the past, if what I have heard is to be believed. Also them spamming multiple links of the same shit seems sketchy a.f.

        Last time I got a game from them was a zip file and it was working fine for me. Will see task manager while playing next time
