As the video game industry is approaching the norm of expensive games, I would like to save my money while still being able to play these games.

This is my personal strategy, works pretty well:
- Grab a repack from fitgirl /dodi / kaoscrew via torrent when possible. Use the official sites.
- Check gog-games, if it’s available without drm
- Check rin (Steam Underground) if it’s not too large
- Grab from GGn or whatever other private tracker might have it.
- Get straight scene release, if available, as last resort.
This covers probably 99% of PC games, emulators are a different story.
As for getting started, grab 7z (an archiving utility) and know how to mount an ISO. Stay safe, don’t download from sketchy sites. Since you are dealing with executables, some things will look (and act) like viruses, use your best judgement.
