Lately, users have begun noticing increased activity from the “pirate community” on Steam.
SteamDB is recording unprecedented popularity for the game Spacewar — the peak online player count has exceeded 138 thousand.
However, Spacewar is not just a “game”: tech enthusiasts use it as a kind of workaround wrapper that allows multiplayer features to run in pirated games.
The activity around Spacewar is presumed to be linked to the recent release of the crime simulator Schedule I.
