Huh? Thats not true. Dbzero the creator of this community is pirate by principle to fuck the bad companies , not to abuse and get shit for free from companies that treat their customers okay.
Ok @[email protected] Let's settle this debate, does the dbzer0 instance and/or the Piracy community here push the "Good Guy Valve" stance and thus consider this bad practice, or do we consider Valve to be like any other company which uses DRM in regards to this situation. That is to say it is permitted and encouraged like breaking any other DRM.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this matter.
If dn0 isn't available, another community mod or instance admin can feel free to answer this, I CCed you in the bottom of this comment. I apologize if the ping was annoying.

Personally, I pirate just about everything but do buy what I like from indie devs. Bonus if it is on GOG.
That is also my approach
