    Turns out that it’s only available for Patreon supporters now and that the dev stopped updating the code on the public GH repo And in addition to that, when you use the official installer it plays a creepy laughter every 10 mins

    Kinda weird, virus-like behaviour

      You have no fucking idea how deep that rabbit hole goes. Cheat engine has a fantastic history of being literal malware and ran by one of the biggest pieces of shit I’ve ever fucking seen.

      The fact cheat engine gets used at all is great proof that people are stupid as fuck and way over trusting.

        Got some reading for us on those things? I’m really curious. I never let CE connect to the internet (blocked by firewall, but I don’t recall it ever attempting to), but it’s too useful for when I want to fuck around with a game.

      Ye i just gave it a go and promptly removed it again after looking at github, seeing the version there ( with no binaries ) and having the patreon popup. CE can bugger right off if what you said is true…
