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
Always worked just fine for me
I'm sure they work for some but if you check online (Reddit for example), there's loads of issues and the general recommendation is against them because of the issues
I meant to say pirated games in general, sorry for not clarifing.
