Why doesn't he just put the game up for free as an option then?

Piracy is illegal, so a lot of people will still abstain from downloading the game for free.

If you provide it for free on official distribution channels, your revenue drops drastically.

Is it illegal if the creator is saying they’re ok with you getting it for free?

Yes, it's still illegal.

As it's illegal to dumpster dive food even though you have permission from the supermarket owner.

It all depends on your income, man. If you are well off you have no excuse to not pay for anything. If you live in Vietnam then by all means all software becomes suddenly free and free of guilt.
