I have been out of the game for a while, but intend to pirate games of the classical asshole-publishers, such as Ubisoft. I know how to do all of that with Movies and TV Shows, but for PC Games, I am lacking legit sources and unfortunately, Impress is out as well.

How does one pirate PC Games in 2026, via torrent or usenet?

What kind of games are you looking for?

There are several high profile gaming classics on archive.org:

Here are several Valve games:

Here you have some Bioshock releases:

I read that Epic released Unreal Tournament 2004 on Archive.org a few years ago shortly after they killed the master server:

There are plenty more to find over there

I keep on forgetting how many beautiful things are on archive.org. I was primarily looking for new’ish AAA titles, which usually get DMCA’d into oblivion. However, I will take a look at archive.org again, because I wanted to look at some MSDOS classics, too.
