You should pay for it if you can, it's an amazing game and it's worth the price.
However, I believe you should be able to play it pirated online, because you could do so in Divinity: Original Sin 2 with no problems.

Game dependent. Some games can via port fowarding, some by abusing space wars server, some incable.of multiplayer at all.
If all parties use the same cracked version, and play on LAN, then yes.
Be very wary of malware though. I've had one cracked CS1.6 infect me (and presumably all my buddies) on a LAN party at the uni dorm.
This is 0.1% of the content i don't pirate. Game is worth full price.
I didn't really expect a thread on piracy to convince me to pay for a game, but here we are...
It really depends on the game. Some you wouldnt expect to be able to you can others the opposite.
you could check in online-fix.me if there's a Baldur's Gate online fix. Join their discord for updates.
Did you download it from 1337x?? Just found out that malware (a miner) was discovered by a few people who downloaded that game so far
As others have stated that its game dependent, if you want to get some that work online check out online-fix.me or cs.rin.ru
If there's a LAN mode you can do a virtual lan and play that way, I remember doing that with Dying Light
It would be a shame to pirate that game. I don't think most games are worth what they make you pay but that game is certainly worth more than they ask.
EA, Activision and the like are not worth your money but developers like Larian or Team Cherry are not only worth your money but also really need it to make more games worth playing, without microtransactions, nonsensical quests, bloat and bullshit like that.
back in the day i used to play cracked left 4 dead online using garena (it was basically a game server software where users could join rooms and they would have servers. i mostly remember there being south americans/slavic people on there. was quite interesting. afaik it would use steam group servers to connect (which may could be a lan type thing but idk).
idk how it works now but i'd imagine it would be tougher now with current games acting more like a live service. if you get bored of playing with slavs every time then it's time to buy the game.
