You pirated the game. And then you bought the game. You can't combine those things into one righteous action. You're gleefully ignoring case 3 where you pirate the game, then don't buy it.
I'm not saying you're a horrible person for pirating in this one instance. I'm saying that when you pirate something you take a piece of work you aren't entitled to without any money changing hands. It's different to stealing a physical copy of something, but it's still not a Morally Green thing to do.
