    idk, here piracy is still very prevalent with all generations and doesn’t seem like it impacts scammability.

      Piracy has become kind of easier and standard. I haven’t checked but I bet there is a discord and youtube community about pirating. That didn’t exist. I learned about torrenting from an online friend through Maplestory. Limewire was a thing some kid at school told you about. And we all got viruses doing it.

      It felt like you had to know a guy to know anything. Now you can just google and the communities for pirating are massive now.
