I dont really care if i get a virus, just do a fresh reinstall of windows/linux and badabing badaboom your back. i use piracy for playing games that im not able to. example is emulation, like i dont think alot of people have a game console collection and have the time/money to jailbreak/ buy an entire collections worth of games. Also i dont really wanna waste money on a game im not sure ill play.

Also i wanna hear YOU say why you dont pirate games, because all ive been reading is the type of insults id be hearing in the third grade.

Emulating old games is almost entirely safe. Sure it might be possible for a rom to have something injected in it that takes advantage of some emulator vulnerability but it's extremely unlikely and I've never heard of it. Keep on doing that.

Modern games (or any other .exe files) are very risky. And you may never know you have a keylogger.

If there was no risk I'd pirate modern games. However you usually can't play online anyway. And having all my games in one place on steam is very nice, with cloud saves and family sharing too.
