As I see it, this is not a question of piracy. It's a simple matter of buying a round peg for a round hole. You have purchased a square peg for a round hole, and you're blaming the peg's designers because it won't fit. Either return the peg and get one that will fit, or buy the right hole for the peg.

Does it say on the box that you should be able to play it on your OS? If not, then buying the game was perhaps not the smartest decision. I would dearly like to play 'Destroy All Humans' on my PC, but it's only available for PS2 and X-Box. PC is not supported. If I went out and bought the X-Box version of the game, then tried to get it to work on my PC, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work. In that case buying the game would have been a poor decision on my part. It is not the game's fault, because the game says clearly that it's only meant to work on an X-Box. I'm sure you will find a similarly clear notice about OS compatibility on the SH3 box. Mine says:

"Supported OS: Windows XP/2000 (only)"

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

A Windows game requires Windows. It is a prerequisite for playing the game. Get Windows if you're determined to play it.
