@CraigeryTheKid So some of the things they've "allegedly" done are... thanks to the Reddit exodus a lot of the posts have been deleted but the accusations were... they created ads that ran before their games encouraging you to return and get more games, they created their own DRM that would block you from launching if you deleted their link files back to their site from your install folder, they had malware on their website through javascript that would inject adware, at least on one occasion a game installed something called Guard.exe malware. There is also the fact that they once had and then lost their trusted status on 1337x, probably for the malware. There are some to this day that argue the uploads on 1337x are safe because they moderate the uploads, but I'd be wary of trusting them.
Edit: I thought I hit reply to @CraigeryTheKid but apparently not. I'm confused.
