I have a couple Steam games as well that would qualify for that category. Things I played as a teenager that were usually borrowed from friends and shared by too many people. To be honest there's a lot more I would still need to buy to settle the score.

I'm no saint, have pirated a few games myself when I was a teen (which is almost 17 years ago) but then I realized how they held no value and have since replaced them with their original retail/digital counterparts - 200+ boxed games and over 250 more on GOG.
For the record I also buy my music in album CD, it's become a hobby to collect all albums by a particular band.

It does exist but not in the same volume compared to Wintendo. The usual torrent sources carry the software but most of it is simply copies of GOG packages. There are very few Linux 'cracks'.
In my younger days my college buddies and I pirated DOS and Win software but since my move to Linux my attitudes have changed and I genuinely feel guilty if I do not contribute properly!

Maybe I am wrong. You have information that it was due to piracy and not just something content owners insisted on for protection?
It happens on all platforms where it's possible to do so.

Fact: Steam is not only and store, is a DRM too...
Fact: DRM is against Linux philosophy....
so... I don't support to buy/download illegal copies and I also don't support Devs that loves DRM.
So.... No-steam cracks for Linux games I have legally on my steam library? Interesting...
I would like to play MY legally acquired games without having to install that spyware on every computer I have..
That's why I Love GOG and Humble...
