I've never played a Nexus game, and I'm definitely not going to start now. People who are pirating a game aren't usually doing it bcz they hate the company, or have a vendetta of any kind. It's usually a money issue. People are more than happy to pay for games when they have money, and you're not a shit company.
No, it's a convenience/service issue. Last time i've seen a third-party launcher was Mirrors Edge on Steam proton, and that thing failed to run since it wanted to open more than my security limit of 50k files, which no game hit before.
Well, I have no First Amendment rights, so there's that.
I'm not exactly clear on the legal structure for digital platforms, but if you're physically in the US, you have first amendment protections, regardless of citizenship or residency status. So as long as your group has some US persons in it, you should benefit from their first amendment protections. That said, the first amendment (and fourth, which is about unlawful searches) only applies to governments, so the service you use needs to refuse to hand over data for it to matter at all.
It's kind of like people in the US (e.g. me) benefiting from European GDPR protections. Some sites I use now have the option of demanding my deata be deleted, and many sites have cookie preferences, none of which are required in my area.
That said, I definitely trust technological measures more than legal ones. So I don't use Discord, because I don't trust their technological protections. Ideally, Discord wouldn't have any data to give up, and therefore there wouldn't be a choice here, they would have no data to give up.
That's exactly what I'd say if I wanted to catch the bigger fishes.
