Don't see how pirating well overcome the online age check.

But Rockstar Games acquired FiveM back in 2023, so I don't see how is that relevant to piracy. In fact even if it wasn't, there was nothing illegal about it as far as I am aware.

if you can run a private server, you can get rid of all 'phone home' requirements.

so you just need a cracked copy of the game itself. luckily it is completely legal to remove digital locks on anything you bought in many countries (not the usa though).
