online multiplayer in pirated games? (sopuli.xyz)

this isn't about anything specific, this is just a general question.

i always assumed that multiplayer wouldn't work on pirated copies of games, or at most you'd have to play on specially configured servers. but the other day i saw a thread about a game where online multiplayer works even with pirated copies, and now i'm curious about how often that happens.

i understand that every game is different, and i want to know: what are your experiences with online multiplayer in pirated games?

From my experience most of the stuff that uses steamworks for multiplayer can work on a pirated copy, you can only play with other pirates tho. Then games where you can host your own servers and p2p games can be done often as well. Some games that require you to use offical servers have server emus written for already but they arent finished iirc (i kbow of BO4 and Diablo3)

Are Diablo 3 server emus any good? I haven't looked in a long while but now I'm intrigued.
