Is it permissible to download games that contain prohibited music while muting the sound, taking into account that downloading them increases their popularity in the app store?

Games that contain prohibited music should not be downloaded, even if the sound is muted, for fear that others may hear it, and because it promotes and popularizes the site. A Muslim should utilize their time in what is beneficial, and if recreation is necessary, they should entertain themselves with what is purposeful and free from prohibitions.
