It's a cracked version of the game that has been heavily compressed to reduce download size. This is why the installer will eat a lot of CPU resources during installation. While you probably won't be banned, I would generally avoid playing these games through steam as a precaution. Usually multiplayer doesn't work normally anyways.
Playing through steam might be useful for linux users, because proton is on there (but idk if it works with self-added games).
It works amazingly well for me, I install fog games with proton and it just works.
I tried with lutris and bottles but I was always having issues.
Fitgirl repacks rarely work with Linux
I meant to say pirated games in general, sorry for not clarifing.
