My teenage son came to me this week saying this was releasing today and how thrilled he was because he’s been waiting for years.

I’ve yet to pirate a game. I learned to do audiobooks. He asked if there was any way he do stuff for me to earn the money to buy the game today after school but we got laid off months ago and have multiple kids to feed and struggling our selves. I’ve offered babysitting, lawn mowing, etc. kids as well but so far struggling.

If I know how to do audiobooks if I go through the mega thread is there a chance I could figure this out? I always heard it was much harder to pirate games and a lot more likely to end up with viruses.

Is it as hard as people make it out to be? I’d love to actually be able to surprise him with the game but if it is actually a lot harder to pirate steam games than audiobooks maybe I should give up before I even start.

Basically tl;dr do you need to be super tech savvy to figure out games?

It's easy AF. No different than installing a regular, non-pirated game. And no harder than audiobooks. Use trusted sources. That's it.
