On topic, can someone clarify if/why IGG is bad?

They seem to have quite the following and popular on 1337x. Not a joke/troll, genuinely curious.

From the old Megathread: "These are not recommended on this subreddit as trusted sites for various reasons, but the main reasons why igg-games is not recommended is due to their history of shady behavior"

IGG has been known to include all kinds of weird shit with their installers

They have put miners, keyloggers and bunch of weird shit in their installations in the past, if what I have heard is to be believed. Also them spamming multiple links of the same shit seems sketchy a.f.
