Do they realize this may be the only way some people can legally play the games? I can imagine lots of disabilities that only let people play with a niche controller

I’m lucky I only shop at Black Mesa

I thought eating beef was taboo in India regardless of religion, as in – you could get away with it in private but good luck finding a butcher that would prepare one without ruining your reputation in the neighborhood. The taste is not good enough to risk it. However, (not) eating beef is an actual choice if you go abroad.

If the amount is 2.5 %/yr of non-essentials, there is still lots of ways one could make money significantly faster with a good business strategy and lots of luck, and have a probability of eventually reaching a net worth in the billions. However, there’s a difference between following the letter of the “law” and its spirit.

It could work if you aggregated incompatible providers in the same category (such as weather) into one big aggregate API. That way, people wouldn’t need to refactor if their favorite API provider ramps up pricing or dies. But how would I trust you to keep offering the same service at a good price point instead of an established meteorological institution? Also, I think weather aggregators already exist.

I think they mean an API-aggregating API that would be called “100% API” with loads of services supported but no idea how to pay for all that.

Do they actually have the ambition to redefine the word strand like Inception (2010) literally redefined inception?

Patchers are inherently suspicious to AVs (they write to executable files) and VirusTotal by extension. Most of these detections only say “HackTool”, which may not mean the file harms your computer – the security community is usually unwilling to inspect DRM circumvention tools any further because there is negative financial and reputational gain from helping pirates if you work for a security vendor.

This explains why the VirusTotal community is split. I would be more trusting of the software if it were open source, which it understandably isn’t. Based on the VirusTotal community comments, I lean 70% false positive / 30% malware, which may not be a probability you’re willing to risk for obtaining free desktop management software (at least I’m not).

However, haxNode·net is a website that has a reputation to uphold, and I’m not going to investigate its history for you. I would significantly alter my verdict if trusted piracy communities like FMHY speak against or in favor of it.

In conclusion: Do more research. Run at your own risk.
