My buddy wants to play Baldur’s Gate 3 but I don’t feel like paying for it.

    You should pay for it if you can, it’s an amazing game and it’s worth the price.

    However, I believe you should be able to play it pirated online, because you could do so in Divinity: Original Sin 2 with no problems.

    Did you download it from 1337x?? Just found out that malware (a miner) was discovered by a few people who downloaded that game so far

    If there’s a LAN mode you can do a virtual lan and play that way, I remember doing that with Dying Light

    Game dependent. Some games can via port fowarding, some by abusing space wars server, some incable.of multiplayer at all.

    back in the day i used to play cracked left 4 dead online using garena (it was basically a game server software where users could join rooms and they would have servers. i mostly remember there being south americans/slavic people on there. was quite interesting. afaik it would use steam group servers to connect (which may could be a lan type thing but idk).

    idk how it works now but i’d imagine it would be tougher now with current games acting more like a live service. if you get bored of playing with slavs every time then it’s time to buy the game.

    It really depends on the game. Some you wouldnt expect to be able to you can others the opposite.
