It's not so much paradox endorsing piracy as it was them not caring and thus releasing it without any form of DRM or even install features beyond copying files. This meant that grabing it off of someone else was just drag&drop from a network share, and then double click to play.
Why would they care? They've already sold one person thousands of dollars of DLC and don't need your friend to buy it too
Understood. Iirc we didn't need cracks or anything for their older games
