Why do people upload cracked steam versions of games that also released on gog and already have a DRM-free installer?

I gifted my dad a steam game for his birthday. He is a big Linux fan so he installed it on his Linux system. Now he can't play it for more than 5 minutes before denuvo freezes not only the game but somehow even manages to freeze the complete system and he has to reboot.

Had to return the gift. It's a shame he really wanted to play it

There might be a drm free version you could buy or pirate for him

Definitely true. I could refund the game and got him a different one that he also really wanted to play so it's all good :)
