the tracking of pirated copies is even more fucked up. is that their way of imposing that "piracy = stealing"?
It’s because they literally don’t know how to differentiate a download from legit and illegitimate. They’re going to track every time their bundler is downloaded and bill the developer for it, that would include pirated copies and legit copies alike.
The swashbuckler's solution is then to make your own bundler installer!
That's assuming pirates would go through the trouble of removing said functionality. Pirates hate trackers, so they might do it, but not necessarily, as often the priority is just to get the game working.
Because a cracker could remove the DRM but not whatever is tracking installs
