I wanted to try out Serato Sample's new stem separation tool added in 2.0 so I downloaded a crack to see if it was worthwhile.

Only now a week later do I remember I purchased the old version on sale and think to check if it's a free upgrade.

Now I can't decide if I want to bother uninstalling and installing my legitimate copy

Downloaded Control from Fitgirl, but turns out I already have it on Epic.

At least when you pirate it you have chance of it not containing malware.

I trust FitGirl. But does Epic Game Store have malware? All of my purchased games are on Steam.

Depends how you define malware. Technically speaking, EGS's spyware behaviour is disclosed in long format legalese just vaguely enough that they can turn around and say "well, you did accept the terms of service"...
