https://freelinuxpcgames.com/ the website doesn’t look malicious but would like if anyone has proof otherwise I know there’s torminatorr, but I would like some direct download websites for Linux since I can’t seed while pirating because my ISP has limited bandwidth of 1 TB and my fascist country Iran has $300 minimum wage and I have better ways to use that than seeding, but I don’t like leeching EDIT: seems the website is malicious I guess I’m forced to leech or use proton with steamrip games
For your second point, its not at all uncommon for previously-legit sites to go malicious. Age alone means nothing, nor does reputation after a few years.
