A lot has happened since the reddit protests and the actual subreddit is completely unusable now. What will happen to the mods that were originally updating the megathread, because that thing is literally my life at this point and with increasing actions being taken by corporates to stop piracy, how long do we have on the current links and stuff in the megathread. Don’t want to spook anyone just want to know whether we can continue referring to the megathread or is there an alternative I don’t know about.

    The mod of this instance was a mod of /r/Piracy. I am pretty sure it will stay consistently updated.

    It was updated 19 Jun 2023 10:26 UTC according to the bottom of the webpage if that helps your worries.

      hey this maybe a stupid question but I’ve always wondered- if there are any discrepancies between this megathread and the megathread of the gaming piracy sub, which one should I trust?

        There are differences and it will come down to your personal judgement. That said the c/Piracy megathread here links to FMHY and that links to Pirated Games Mega Thread.

        You may want to do a quick search before downloading from somewhere for the first time to make sure there haven’t been any recent developments but if you float around these community pages you’ll likely hear about it.

        Some smaller sites/sources might take a while to reach the megathread. Gnarly Repacks for example isn’t listed on the c/Piracy megathread but is listed on FMHY and Pirated Games Mega Thread
