This is like the people who repackage and rebrand LibreOffice and then resell it for $10 on the Windows Store to gullible users.
And the worst part about that is that it doesn't even break the law.

Those repackages of libreoffice packages are actually official.
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-from-microsoft-and-mac-app-stores/
These versions are free software (as in open source) but there's a small charge to cover the effort of putting software in the app stores, and to help develop the software (and build our communities).
They are not. I do not refer to the package called "LibreOffice". If you search for "office" on the Windows Store, you'll see a bunch of LibreOffice clones that are not branded as such and are not free of charge or contain advertisements.
Woah, only USD 12 for a GENUINE fake cracked copy someone first downloaded from a torrent?
I mean, if you are a designer that needs it but doesn't know how to download and crack stuff, 12$ might be worth that time.
It does say "No Virus" in big letters, so what could go wrong?
They probably yoinked it from 4download (for free) and are trying to resell it. A disgrace for these seas😤
Is 4download a good source ? I haven't downloaded a cracked software in ages but "diakov repack" pop-up in my mind whenever l need a very good source.
Inclusive of more than 10 softwares?!?
