Whats the deal with this piracy site?
First of all: I did not use this site at all. A friend of mine told me about it and most of what I could find say that it works. Either I am beeing an idiot and its a scam ooor this should be illegal shouldnt it? Do you guys know why its not illegal? I mean it should be, even early access indie games are on there.

The title. Please remove the entire name of the site. You are only giving them free advertising.

In the case it is pirating Valve's software why hasn't Valve filed a complaint against the site? While the site's server is protected from complaints by Cloudflare, the domain name is under Verisign's registry and thus under US jurisdiction. The domain name is registered to NameCheap.

It's probably not legit. But you just don't stop a lawbreaker by filing a complaint. :steambored:

You may want to contact Steam Support: https://help.steampowered.com/en/
They won't give you any information because "privacy" even though the site is clearly in the public.

In addition, they are registered with NameCheap so you could attempt to contact their abuse: https://support.namecheap.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/ (let Steam Support know that URL)

Don't bother contacting their web host; the IP address is Cloudflare and they do not handle abuse complaints well at all, and can even violate your privacy.

Is the artwork on OP's comments legit?

P.S. The service the site hides behind, Cloudflare, couldn't care less that the site isn't legal.
