  I’ve thought about pirating it too. Seeing as I bought the game years ago, but I lost my email account associated with the 3rd party login, thus not allowing me to play the game.

  I never really played it. I started to, but then life happened lol. But I thought I’d go back and play it… nope, can’t remember my password and can’t recover my email.

    If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing

      If you had a DRM-free version on a CD and you lost that CD, would you just pirate that game? Not trying to judge or anything (I’ve sailed the seas myself), just genuinely curious

        Yes since i’ve already purchased it once. Unless there is a good steam discount. And maybe of it’s truly a masterpiece then I would buy it again at full price.

        If it was a DRM Free version on a CD, I would probably have a backup on my HDD

        Probably. The dev has already made the sale. The usual argument from pirates that will never be settled “I was never going to buy it anyway so they lost no money”. But this way they’ve already made the sale. No harm no foul. With the receipts to back it up.
