Projecting much? I've been using mods like this for a good decade. Also Valve has way bigger fish to fry with their shitty abusable shop system, all the people selling Steam market items on other websites and so on. The list is long
~~>Dont abuse the system is pretty generous already.~~
~~You know what community this is in, right? It's all about bypassing and abusing the system to get shit for free~~
Edit: Corrected some false statements on my part.
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 @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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.

I guess, do whatever fits your budget and/or conscience? I don't think we push a particular philosophy. Folks pirate for different reasons.
That makes sense. Everyone has different motives and reasons for pirating, would make sense that we wouldn't push one thing or the other like that person is suggesting. Thanks for your feedback.
