I’m not talking about paying for USB’s; there’s definitely an inherent risk to that if you don’t know where the source is. It could work within groups of close friends. I’m talking about downloading and paying for a game directly from the person/group that cracked it and through their site. I think OP is trying to make a financial incentive for cracking to exist in the future.
there’s something fucky going on with that but i can’t put my finger on it.
