If you can’t find one then skip the game or accept the fact that you might lose access to it. That’s the way the creator decided their game would be distributed, if you disagree you’re treating them as slaves by getting the fruit of their labour without compensating them and without their agreement.

If you disagree with the original terms, i.e. the game is available on a platform with DRM, then just don’t get it and completion to the devs. Our pirate it but don’t pretend that you’re morally right to do it.

there is nothing immoral with letting someone share information with you.

Nah. DRM in its current version is morally wrong. Circumventing it is perfectly fine. It’s essentially an industry wide price collusion, which I’ll note is illegal, but will never be broken up because the US antitrust agencies have been hollowed out to nothing.

In the same vein, if an employer refuses to pay you for time worked, your chances of recovering that pay is slim. In that circumstance, I would say taking the amount you are owed from the till is perfectly fine, morally. You would probably disagree, because you’re a boot licker and believe that whatever the law says is morally good. I understand the concept in abstract, but I will fundamentally never be able to put myself in the head space of someone like you.
