    Genuinely asking: if I buy a game (aka “license to play”) on steam, is it morally ok to acquire the same on the high seas? I assume The devs got paid when I paid steam?

      The correct answer is it’s always morally ok, unless you prefere to fund gabe’s superyacht addiction.

      I’d say morally it is okay to download from high seas, if you paid for the game already. Maybe to get a cracked version of the game without Denuvo in example. Morally okay doesn’t mean legally okay. Lot of people mix those two different things up, so be careful nonetheless.
