Just wondering, would you be saying the same things if this was post RU release with the client and all that being free to download but requiring you to be in Russia to play? Because while yeah, it's a sketchy having access to an unofficial early build that was leaked, what they are doing would be the same then or now which is essentially modding a game.
The code they are writing for their program seems to be original work right? Stuff that just interfaces with the MS code in the game? Then is the big thing that they downloaded the leaked version and whether that is the piracy bit? Because that I could see both sides for (depends on MS's release and payment plans for the final version to me).
I would consider it to be piracy as long as they attempted to circumvent the revenue system because that is cheating the creator out of sales.
