    You could be the most cautious person on the planet and still end up with a virus because a game which you purchased legitimately contained a virus from a game cracking group that the devs just copy-pasted into their game.

      You are more likely to get an official game that bricks your whole PC (queue Elden Ring) than you are get a virus from known game cracker groups.

        Fair, but I’d take a bricked PC over the data leak variety of ransomware any day. But to add to what you’re saying, I’d be more worried about a supply chain or compromised developer machine over what happened here.
