      Is it piracy? He owns a license for the game.

      Are Ubisoft or Rockstart Games pirates for using scene cracks themselves?

        Technically it’s not.

        They don’t even need a new copy of the game, just the cracked .exe file.

        Arguably so, as they did not get the scene group’s permission to redistribute their works.
