I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.
If I was a character in Danganronpa, my talent would be The Ultimate Loser and I’d be the first character killed in the murder game.
At best they ignore it. At worst, they never invite the user to test anything again. I doubt they’d issue an account ban for that. Not even sure if they can straight up ban you from the platform anyway and lock you out of your games entirely; pretty sure the bans are limited to VAC secured servers for online play and the array of community features like posting on the forums.
For PCVR games, it’s exactly the same as normal PC piracy. You can add them as non-steam games and then tick the “show in VR library” option so they actually appear in the VR shit.
For standalone, on the Quest 3 (which, BTW, can also do PCVR), there is an app called Rookie Sideloader that can pull (nearly) anything from the official store without paying for it and then it’s just installed as an unknown app instead of showing up in the default app list.
IDK about the Xbox, but the PS5 is not really all that worth it considering most of the games that aren’t multiplatform titles are PS4 titles still. There’s not much at all that requires the PS5’s hardware, so why would most people pay the higher price for a PS5 when PS4 is still being sold and is cheaper?

There is one I remember hearing about a while back and I want to find it again that was really dope because it was a full on simulator and had a easy to use builder to build your own tables. People were recreating actual tables for it, though only those in the public domain.
We didn’t even have AI when the Internet became flooded with faked images and videos, and those actually are incredibly hard to tell are fake. AI generated images still has very obvious tells that it’s fake if you scrutinize them even a little bit. And video is so bad right now, you don’t have to do anything but have functioning sight to notice it’s not real.
I pirate games to demo them. If I like them, I buy them legit. If I don’t like them, I don’t even play more than an hour and delete them.
It’s the only medium I’ve done this… If I am pirating a movie or a TV show, it’s either old and not able to be purchased or only available on Paramount+ which is absolute garbage and doesn’t work 90% of the time I have tried to use it.
When I think “space game” I usually have a specific genre in mind and Mass Effect isn’t it. You don’t even do anything in space unless you count the hub area since it’s your spaceship. For Starfield to be an honorable mention but Elite completely devoid from the list has dealt me near lethal psychic damage. 😩
