I am interested in how pirates on the internet (which i am not) would get there hands on the files to a game, just, for example, Baldur's Gate 3, without torrenting? Now, I have heard tell of a place where these nefarious no-gooders would do this, for example gog-games.to. But, once they have acquired the file, what steps to these pirates take next? I have heard that .bin files come with these illegal files? How would one approach using those bin files? All out of curiosity of course. Thank you!

      Keep in mind that the files received from this site are identical to the files you would get on the official store. That's why it's so beautiful.

        now, let's say, just hypothetically, that a would-be pirate's download from 1fichier "Failed" with no error message. What would that dastardly scoundrel do?
