I haven’t really worried about cracked games since I started using Steam years ago but I had a bit of a revelation today regarding my willingness to play something and my willingness to pay for it. So my question is are there any risks to the standing of a Steam account if you play cracked games on the same system?

nope

I've been playing the Sims 3 from fitgirls repack (steam release). Both my steam account and EA account are fine!

I’ve played many cracked steam games while even having my steam account logged in. I’ve even tried to run them before installing the crack, which opens my steam instance and gives me an error. I’ve been doing this for years with zero issues whatsoever! I wouldn’t worry.

This is reassuring. Sounds like I’ll be good to go in a week when this download finally finishes.
