How the hell is it pirating if its an old version.Its V0.1 its not like you can download the newest version

I also would understand if it was the kickstarter demo that is $25 and is not purchaseable anymore,along with only 2500purchases

Like I've said numerous times to others, it doesn't matter if it's old. It's still piracy. The game still cost money in V0.1, it costs money now. If the game was FREE while in V0.1, that'd be a totally different story, but it wasn't.

So yes, this is still piracy.

Ok yet you do realise there is litterally 0.3.8 versions and basically games does not care,what makes it a difference that its older then 0.3.8

I do realize that.

Are you in kahoots with mystman? You don't know that he doesn't care. Maybe he doesn't know, maybe he's trying right now.

The fat that the listing for the pirated game are still up does not mean that mystman doesn't care about them.

If you made a paid game, someone pirated it, you didn't know, and then people went around saying it was totally fine and that you didn't care that people pirated it because the listing were still up...I think you can see the problem.

it's not piracy, and it's a OLD VERSION, plus archiving old versions are legal. 

Source?

The point is, no matter what version the game is, sending it out for free is illegal. Like I've said before, V0.1 cost $10. V0.7 costs $10.

Archiving old versions of games is legal, but sending it out for free without express permission from the owner is still illegal.

Still, it's legal like it would literally be useful if someone missed 0.1, Can bro even understand? 

Guess what? Simply use the Steam Console and the "download_depot" command. There's a way to download old versions of paid games LEGALLY that you PAID FOR. And downloading it without having paid for the original game is still illegal.

So yes, I understand.

Bro, most people don't even have a steam account. 

Plus, it's not illegal. Grow up already. 

Then why not upload V0.6? That MUST be legal, as it's an older version that only contains like 95% of the content of the current version.

It's piracy. It's illegal. It doesn't matter if it's old.

You are still lying since outdated versions are legal to archive, also quit spamming that crap. 

Ok, let's both calm down here and have a mature conversation.

There's a few things I'm genuinely curious about, and please respond in a polite manner.

1.) Is there a source that outdated versions are legal to archive specifically on a platform you can download them for free?

2.) I did a bit of research on copyright law, and while it's perfectly legal to archive the game, downloading an archived game without permission from the copyright holder is illegal. Is this true?

I'm perfectly fine if you don't want to continue this anymore, by the way.
