I pirate games in two situations 1. As a demo. If I think they're worth the money, I buy them (like Elden Ring and DOOM Eternal recently). 2. As a way of archiving my favorite games. For example, I “own” the original Prince of Persia collection in Steam, but I also downloaded the games and have them stored, in case for whatever reason Steam one day decides to terminate my account.

I don’t see any justification for (1) given steam has a 2hour refund window.
