Does anyone know of a site that has cracked pirated torrents with no viruses if possible?

I don't know of any. I doubt one could ever exist (for long) if it was open to the public. Assume every such site is dirty as hell, that every link could be a potential vector for an attack, and act accordingly. If someone did post a link or recommendation here, I would assume they're bullshitting me. For the same reason you should always wear a helmet when riding a bike, always buckle your safety belt while driving, and always practice safe sex. Hope for the best, plan for the worst; act accordingly.

See? Shit like this. 'GOG' is an acronym for 'Good Old Games', and is the name of the digital storefront of The Witcher & Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED. So that link leads to a site that's nonsensically named (good old games games), which is almost certainly done to entice people who might have heard of GOG before and think it's legit. If you're trying that hard to induce a case of mistaken identity, you have to be a scam. I don't know what the scam is, cause I'm sure as hell not clicking that link, but you don't call yourself 'GOG + noun' if you're anything legitimate.
The actual URL for GOG is 'gog.com', and not anything ending with a '.to'
Look, I am trying to help rather than scam people here. I don't have the money to buy games and these are the only sites I know that are trustable, FitGirl has been known for a few years and there haven't been an issue for a long time with the repacks.
GOG is an actual store like steam but I came across this site that has the same UI an is being recommended in r/piratedgames from reddit. Is like GOG but everything is completely free, the installer is the same an is being run by donations. They changed their .com to .to because they were shut down and needed to make new changes in order to stay afloat.
I haven't got hacked yet, I haven't got any virus nor any shit like that but I am also willing to take the risk in order to enjoy games that otherwise I wouldn't be able to play man, if you don't want to risk it then it's not my issue anymore I already gave the sites I'm using.
Err on the side of EvolutionKills here. Anyone who offers something for free probably isn't really doing it for free.
Tbh, like 90% of the shit you'll find on the front page of Google by typing "[whatever game] free download" is probably fine. But it only takes one competent asshole to to drain your bank account.

No, the site you linked is not like GOG. It's a site as legit as this one. Therefore it's a total scam and I wouldn't trust the games I download from there even if I was running them on a sandbox located in a virtual machine that would run on a computer without networks devices.
duh. it's a site which lets you download games they got from the gog site. so they named it gog-games (games from the gog site). they don't pretend to be the actual gog site which anyone who bothered to check out the site for more than one second should understand. thinking it's a scam just because of the name of the site is just stupid

What? You click on those links to see 'hot singles moms near you' then? Cause it would be dumb not to check it out, right? The world is full of hot singles, and some of them have to be near you, amiright?
You sound like someone who uses Facebook and doesn't realize that you are the product.

I don't think anyone thinks it is a scam just because of the name of the site.
The whole thing is just sketchy as hell. If you can't figure out how the people running that site are making money, it means they are probably making money off of YOU.
Because GOG game files are so open, it would also be easy for a malicious actor to slip bad code in them if they wanted and then give them away for "free".
For all you know, your info is being scraped and sold off, or they've got your PC mining crypto for them.
apparently he did because that's the reason he didn't want to click on the link. and good, if you aren't smart enough to know the difference between pure scam and a pirate site, then you shouldn't click on the link
lol that's the same with any pirate site that lets you download stuff including f95. for some reason you people get your pants in a bunch for this specific site. dont use it then but stop your lame excuses why you dont.
ok that's it for me. one can only take so much
The Scene groups (CODEX, PLAZA, SKIDROW etc.) crack games mainly for the sport. They have their reputation on the line and wouldn't put malware in their files. AFAIK, they don't release it to the public. The torrents that end up on publicly available sites are basically leaked from their private networks, although I assume the scene groups don't really care if it gets leaked. So basically, the more steps it takes for the file to get to your computer, the less secure it will be due to the middle men potentially being able to add malware. Sites with prominent scene groups in their names are not official release portals of those groups.
For most people, it won't be feasible to get access to the inner circle, so there will always be some amount of risk when downloading cracked games. That said, there are a lot of reputable sources that have been around for years, if not decades.
dauphong on piratebay (the official site, not one of the hundreds of fake piratebay sites) is legit. You could almost say that dauphong is piratebay.
Another thing to note is that cracks are inherently a sort of "hack." They often trigger false positives on your antivirus. That's why GOG releases are so great since they are DRM free and don't need to be cracked. Still, where you download the GOG games matter. Maybe that site mentioned above is vetted by the community. I wouldn't know. I still get everything from dauphong if it's available.

I don't know how relevant this is now, but there was a time when GOG was pretty anti-DRM. This resulted in games available on their marketplace to contain no DRM. Without DRM, this made games easy to crack, and many didn't need to be cracked at all. This made GOG an extremely popular resource for piracy. It's also one of the main reasons why GOG lost what little marketshare it once had.
GOG Games is simply one of several platforms created at that time to share content received from GOG. Hence the name, "Games we stole from GOG" doesn't exactly have the same ring to it now does it?
Furthermore, GOG games is generally a trusted site within the Piracy community. Furthermore, they make money through donations and ads. One look at their website no doubt confirms this. As such, they aren't any different than F95.
Either way, just use Fitgirl. I don't see what the problem is anyway.
