The amount of leachers are a sight to see

The four day head start thing being bullshit was a good point. But yeah, I'm not likely to pirate an executable any time soon.

Time and money consuming, new hard drive, install windows, install the exe and check if that wasn't a malware, or a VM, GPU pass trough, install win and starfield

Yeah, this is probably the way I'd go about it. Dedicated hard drive, separate/no network access, no access to other files. Who cares if it is malware if it can't get to anything.
