Personally, I’m waiting for the full release before I pirate it.
After all, pirated games don’t get updates, so I want it to have most of the bugs already worked out by the time I get my permanent copy.
Why? If you know you’ll play it it’s only $30 now, almost certainly higher at release. The Early Access is running great for me (on Linux no less) and the closest thing to a “bug” I’ve found so far (3 hrs in) is that some of the voiceover doesn’t 100% match the written text.
Seriously, it looks and feels very good already. My understanding is that only a few biomes are finished, and they’ll release more over time. But even the story beginnings are already solidly in place.
it’s only $30
I’m quite poor, though.
Go on the Discord, you’ll probably find folks giving away free keys periodically. I don’t know that for certain but it’s common for popular Early Access games.
Eh, like I said before, I don’t really want an unfinished, early access version, anyway.
I don’t want my games to have updates. I’ll wait until it’s finished and stable and then I’ll pirate it. Best experience all around.

the game itself still gets updated. download pirated game -> update drops -> wait unil someone uploads it -> download latest version
If its too niche you might have the situation where nobody uploads the updated version and waiting will just get you the same version as if you didn’t wait.
repacks will generally use patch updates but I find it’s easier and less bug prone to just use a steam emu or patched steam and just replace the steamapps/common/game folder each update
