/v/ - Video Games

You can get a refund if you buy your games from igg-games, I heard.

do they give back the bitcoins you mined?

>>14777317

This would be funny if there was any evidence to support it. No really I'd love to laugh my ass off about it but so far nothing.

Oh well, $20 lesson learned.

>>14777342

There's evidence of IGG's fuckery in the share thread right now. IGG is compromised and it should be avoided now at all costs.

I've pirated so many games in my life I can't be sure I'm not mining right now. I'm regularly checking my PC with Malwarebytes software, is that enough?

>>14777310

put me in the screencap

Doesn't mining tank performance like motherfucker?

Is it even possible to stealth mine on someone's PC?

>>14777683

It's not, but the majority of people are not tech savvy enough to figure out what's wrong. They just notice their PC is slow but do nothing about it.

You should backup your shit, wipe the disk, and reinstall the system from scratch once in a while.

I've heard rumors that the miners only activate when the computer is idle. I.e. you won't notice a thing when you're active.

Then again, they're only rumors. They could be made up by summerfags/cuckchan/reddit/TRS/Goons/leftypol/Gahoole2.

You can still hear the GPU/CPU fans spinning at 100% if you come back from being afk, that obviously wouldn't happen if the PC was idle.

>>14778169

I'd agree if it wasn't for the fact that my PC fans are shit and ran like that from day 1. Sounds like there's a damn vacuum under my desk.

>You guys think hackers are retarded, just like you are.

It's not a personal opinion that many buttcoin miner viruses use 100% resources.

>They only allocate like a couple percent, so that it's barely noticeable

The only PCs where a couple percent would deliver even remotely worthwhile profits are high-end ones, and the people with high-end PCs that pirate shit are usually the ones who will notice even 5% usage. Might as well target retards.

Do devs get my money if I buy the key from places like G2A?

>>14778318

It's like buying a used game, they already got their money when the first guy (the key seller) bought it. assuming that he didn't buy the key with a stolen CC. Then the dev will lose money if the CC owner reports it, and you get banned for it.

Why are you still using that picture you filthy avatar thief. I will have you know I spend 6000000 minutes in paint perfecting that image. Reported for image thieft. Lets see how you like a DMCA NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>14778318

Devs already got the money when the key seller bought the key to sell to you. If it was bought with a stolen credit card (I dont think it happens these days, at least for the top sellers), then it's their retarded fault for not being able to look after their property.

I don't get the faggots on steam forums comparing buying from cd key sites to stomping on puppies.

>>14777286
