Adding Pirated Games to Steam: Account Ban?

Adding Pirated Games to Steam: Account Ban? (All the Info)

It depends on how you add the pirated game to your Steam library. If you pirate a game, install it on your computer, and then add the installed game to your Steam library, Steam can’t tell that it’s pirated and won’t ban you. If you try to use Steam to pirate software and get caught, you can expect a permanent ban.
