Just noticed that both 1337x and TorrentGalaxy mark IGGGAMES as a "trusted uploader"

people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 135 points –

But I remember seeing that group being blacklisted and called out in multiple Piracy communities and wikis a few years ago.

What happened? Are they good now?

Back in 2019 some releases installed directly from IGG-GAMES contained crypto miners. They also added their own DRM to releases. Since then I have stayed away and never looked back.

Shame, because there have been some times that igg is the only group with a specific release.

I know I've seen that on 1337x and was absolutely disappointed. Don't remember what I was looking for, but definitely a shame.
