So if they watermark, then this may become an issue. If you buy a game over steam for the purpose of leaking, steam or some payment provider knows your bank account. From that you can be traced down.

So to hide, a cracker would need to have a fake bank account, or live somewhere lawless like in Russia.

There's no need for a bank account, since you can buy games on steam using gift cards bought with cash.

Oh great! Then that is no problem at all.
