    Nobody casually says they’re "playing licensed [GAME]”, they just say they’re “paying [GAME]”, but they might say they’re playing a pirated copy. This meme is saying that, in Russia, people just say they’re playing a game, and the assumption is that it’s pirated, unless they specifically clarify that it’s a licensed copy. The expectation and use in conversation is reversed.
