It is illegal. You may lose your Steam account if you got caught.

Hi.
It is even illegal using a not legal purchased version of playmaker nor any other purchasable assets from the asset store.

Creating those assets cost a lot of time and effort and you are hurting those people by using 'cracked' versions....

What if you put your game on steam which might have taken a year or more to make, and nobody buys it because they use a 'cracked' version......

Here a quote from the unity forums :

Quote
By copying clearly illegal material without having a license is of course illegal.

What will happen? That depends on many factors. First of all do you actually publish your game? If you do the actual right owner can possible find your game (or might be informed by others). He can take legal actions against you. So you can be sued for using illegal content. Depending on the "damage" you caused he might additionally sued you for reparations. If you make money with those assets it's the worse thing you can do. If you get caught it can completely screw up your life.

I've downloaded your game Mr Baby Pottywords, and I'm selling it at a cheaper price.

Also I've seeded it to half a dozen torrents so people can play it for free.

Hope that's cool with you!  :)

The bigger question is, is it worth your time?

A cracked version won't get any support here or other places.

A cracked version will be out of date. Playmaker is constantly being updated.

If you are using a cracked version, please buy it on the store. It is often on sale on the asset store for a very fair price. It is a one time fee.
