What did IGG do to get such a bad reputation?
They've been accused of adding ads to games or adding cryptominers but I've never found that to be true. They did try to add some silly DRM to the games that made it so the game wouldn't run if you deleted their url files but they stopped doing that after people called them out on it.
Game piracy is such an incredibly funny topic because some of the people involved seem to genuinely see themselves as 17th century pirate lords lmao
Some of the people involved have huge ego's and they fight amongst themselves. It can be pretty funny indeed.
