Thats not much of a what-if: It would make sense to buy games and then download a cracked version instead of the official one, simply because the one you bought can be disabled & taken away at any moment. And, of course, cracked games have better linux compat because they dont have the DRM(s). Buy it to support the franchise and get sequels, of course.
