Purchasing ''Celeste'' from streaming platforms where the ability to download the game is non-present, such as Google's Stadia "cloud gaming" SaaSS (service as a software substitute), is an extremely bad idea. You do not own the game, and [[Celeste Wiki:Who Does That Server Really Serve?|must continue paying for the service]] in order to be able to continue playing Celeste unimpeded; you are also unable to download Celeste onto your computer. If the service is discontinued, you no longer have access to the game. If you wish to stream Celeste (so you can play on your phone or on a lower-power computer), it is recommended to use either a service that can stream the game locally (e.g. Steam Home Sharing), or a service that uses binaries that you already own (e.g. Geforce NOW).

Celeste Wiki and its editors knows that piracy cannot be stopped, but here's one thing we'll say: Why not go pirate some game published by Electronic Arts instead? They're just greedy fools, unlike [[Maddy Thorson]] and friends (whom are super nice).
