Not as big of an issue nowadays, most apps have have anti cheat metods in place, or use some form of online validation to check if you bought it or not and lots of cracked apks simply don’t work nowadays.
Also it’s a bit sad that less than 1% of all profit made from mobile games is from premium games.
I understand why people like the freemium model but honestly most games just try to fleece you either with ads or with a numorus amount of lootboxes, it's better to just pay upfront, then refund if you dislike the game after a day or two.

I found out trying to download a cracked apk of an app. Just didn’t work.
