Games haven't needed the registry since windows 7. They'll store information there, but no games (well, except for a few DRM'd games, like Rockstar stuff) actually NEED information to be in there to run. Of course, if you knew anything about how computers work, you'd understand that there is no difference between a registry and a config file... with the exception that the registry has benefits of centralizing where everything gets stored.
This is a bit loaded. None of them should need it to run, but that's how they're coded. Of course, being a criminal, you don't know this... since criminals aren't smart enough to study programming.
kohlrak: I think we're all quite aware. And how many of those actually distribute them, though? Have you ever tried? I assume it's not much different than from when i used to go to shady sites for pokemon roms so i could play them on my new computer instead. Man, gspotbot.exe was always a weird entry in my task manager, after i discovered it. I'm sure it was legit (real name, too, which is how i eventually learned what that was). So the thieving criminal who has no problem stealing Spore suddenly thinks that a piracy site is going to give him a Virus? Of course not, the criminal just wants to pretend he's not a criminal and act dumb.
Pickle? With stolen money, hacked accounts, etc. Criminals are fond of places like Kinguin because selling keys that they used a stolen credit card to buy acts as a money laundering scheme. I bet you know all about that, seeing as you're defending the enterprise of criminals.
Laundering usually means you get the money back. Now this implication is going as far as implicating GOG.
