To my understanding, you’re technically not pirating as you aren’t the one breaking DRM, ripping the CD, etc. You’re only receiving the pirated content. Kind of similar to how being the passenger in a car doesn’t mean you were driving, but you still end up at the destination (I thought about that simile way less, could be wrong. Don’t think about that one too much lol).
If we go by the broad umbrella most people use the word as, then yea it’d fall under that category. Torrenting, ripping, downloading, etc., all get lumped under pirating most of the time.
Another question might be is that legal since you already own or at least have a license to that content? I dunno. I’ve seen some people say yes, others say still no. Probably depends on the agreement with EA among other things. Or it might actually be out of scope of that agreement. Hm.
But practically speaking? If nobody catches you, nothing will happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
