The phrase refers to the action of acquiring, without cost, a digital copy of the video game I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. This implies seeking a version of the game that does not require payment, potentially through unofficial or unauthorized channels.
The desire for free access to digital content is driven by a number of factors, including financial constraints, the opportunity to try software before purchase, and, in some cases, a challenge to the established digital distribution model. However, obtaining software through unofficial channels often carries risks, such as exposure to malware and a lack of technical support. Furthermore, it undermines the developers and publishers who invested time and resources into creating the game.
