Years ago I bought a great new PC. “But does it play Crysis” I thought. So I bought Crysis 1 on Steam on a big special, daydreaming about finally maxing out those settings. Turns out it doesn’t play Crysis, because there’s some mandatory anti cheating thing that phones home, but that company no longer exists.
This is why I'll never be against piracy especially in gaming. I personally buy all the games I play but, I've run into situations similar to the one you just described with Crysis 1.
