If you had a DRM-free version on a CD and you lost that CD, would you just pirate that game?
Not trying to judge or anything (I’ve sailed the seas myself), just genuinely curious
Probably. The dev has already made the sale. The usual argument from pirates that will never be settled “I was never going to buy it anyway so they lost no money”. But this way they’ve already made the sale. No harm no foul. With the receipts to back it up.
