You also need something to play the games on, a place to play them, electricity for the internet and device, etc., and none of them are free. But they’re also not exclusively used for playing a single game, unlike the single game you’re pirating instead of buying.
That depends on a number of things, like do you want to seed (if so, Mullvad is out), how much do you plan on downloading (if a lot, a VPS may be out), if your ISP blocks any of them, etc.
I generally recommend Mullvad or DIY w/ a VPS (I DIY a wireguard VPN on a VPS), but just try some out and see what works best for you.
You also need an ISP, which isn’t free either.
If you have a non-sucking ISP, you don’t need a VPN. But a VPN is incredibly cheap, so just lump it in mentally with the cost of the internet service.
