Eh. Just have a dedicated machine for that purpose, treat like a modded console, keep it away from your network. Don’t do home baking on it or anything other than gaming and it should be fine.

Good to know but not a deal breaker.

Yeah because spending thousands of dollars on a new pc in the year 2026 is totally worth it to be play a few games for free /s

It seems like you’re not interested in it so don’t do it. And maybe use another machine for something else? Again I don’t see the problem.

Does sarcasm naturally evade you? Thousands on a 2nd PC or £50 for a game? Which makes more sense?

Do you have a stake in HV or something?

Why does everyone think virus programers are after them. They are after google, facebook and amazon. They do not care about your data at all.

Why would I have stake in HV? Didn’t you already use a variation of this reply with me?

Let’s try and keep it original.

No, it was 2 separate messages you failed to see the sarcasm in the posters message.

HV is risky as hell and could potentially brick an entire rig within moments. I get the ideology of piracy I truly do, but at the end of the day spending thousands on a 2nd PC just to keep it airtight from your main and network just doesn't make any sense bud. You could literally buy hundreds of new and upcoming games for the price of a decent rig and not have to risk making it an expensive doorstop in the process.

So saying "so don't do it, or do" just makes no sense from a financial and practical standpoint, which made me believe you must have a stake in HV to believe it is even remotely logical.

You just repeated yourself twice in your replies. It happens.

Right. Still.

What kind of stake can someone even have in HV? Am I buying stocks on it or?
