VPN is not important where I live, Malwarebytes absolutely, if the game is small I'd even upload it to Virus Total but I doubt I can in most cases.
Regarding torrents, seems solid. The only thing I would like to note is there are only two goat websites in the torrent section, there are more in the direct download section. I'm generally very careful, I doubt I got a virus when I was a teen. FitGirl is still a Goat source.
Forget about Virus Total, most sophisticated viruses are no longer hidden in the main .exe but in some random .dll in some subfolder that's being called at some point throughout the game. You'd have to upload every single file to be sure, and that really isn't feasible in modern games.
indeed when they talked about virus total in my antivirus post, I thought what am I not understanding because I wouldn't consider it viable for games. I don't mind installing malwarebytes or kaspersky
