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

Haven't noticed anything from them. I heard rumors but never saw any proof (reliable).
Copied from the moderator at PiracyGames subReddit NotIsaacClarke:
Ads built into the game at runtime: https://i.redd.it/x1gz0rbix1721.jpg
DRM added to their releases which prevents the game from launching if removed: https://i.imgur.com/pNjo10d.png

Looks like this happened 5+ years ago... Did someone in the group go rogue and they were removed? I'll have to look up the piracy games sub reddit when I can get to my computer but at this point it seems to be a nothing burger if it happened so long ago
I like to go by the saying "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".
For me, when the trust is gone, it's gone. But if there is a time limit for you. For example 5+ years. You do you. It's your computer. I remember it when it was fresh on the Reddit sub.
1 time is enough for me.
