I don’t really understand. The devs built a version of their game for Linux, but don’t actually provide any legal way of playing the game on Linux?

For me it’s a price and convenience if we talk about media streaming.
If we talk about games - I am playing on Linux and Alan Wake 2, which I recently pirated, is selling on Epic Games and this store has no Linux support at all. Steam has, but this game is not on Steam. If it were on Steam I’d have probably bought it.

Steam has proton which lets you play Windows games on Linux.
You can use Lutris, Heroic Launcher, Bottles, or just plain WINE as well but for a lot of people the easiest way they know is to just add a non-steam game to steam.

It’s unofficial. Pirated games are also technically unofficial “if you buy a legit version”.

I quit pirating games ages ago primarily because I’ll never play anything of everything is endlessly available to me.
That said, I have a Steam Deck and if I want to play a game that is playable but isn’t available to me. Yarrrrrr.

The older I get, the more I think so too.
