What about downloading mods from the steam workshop for a game?
hmm, I’ve followed until step 2.5
It doesn’t work, got a email from steam about suspicious activity
yeh pls do not use these, for free games just use fitgirl repacks or dodi they are trusted and have huge community
works like a charm, also they have plugin to integrate manilua into the steam client, so you can just click Install on any game from steam shop, without manually downloading manifest each time.
plugin for steam client? hell no its so dangerous they can js steal ur acc
This can ban you over Steam… It works no doubt and I have used this method earlier but Steam emailed regartding unusual activity. And it can ban you over Steam…

I thought this trick would save the game to the account, but in fact it only saves it on the device.
I haven’t found anything about it so far. If I do, I’ll let you know.

Be careful with this it can lead to a ban . It is better to just go on fitgirl site , download and play and uninstall once finished . Been doing it for years
