The answer

Copyrights are owned by their respective holders and must not be infringed upon. Accordingly, playing pirated games is impermissible. Whoever has done so must repent and seek absolution from the rights holders by requesting forgiveness or reconciliation for the harm caused to them. The aggressor is not exempt from seeking absolution or reconciliation for any reason.
