Is it necessary to buy virtual currency in modified electronic games to rid oneself of it, given the possibility of obtaining it by playing for a long time?

The requirement for seeking absolution from the owners of rights to permissible games, if such rights exist for them, is to reconcile with them and compensate them for the lost benefits and the damage resulting from the use of the pirated game. The assessment of damage and compensation should be referred to experts, and it is not necessary to purchase the virtual currency that was used in the pirated game.
