It's GPLv3 so what's the pirate connection?

You need to buy the game just to access source code. That's how GPL work.

How the GPL works is that anyone who buys the game is fully entitled to share the source code with anyone else completely legitimately (modified or unmodified), provided they include the license.

It's not piracy to do so.
