So if they watermark, then this may become an issue. If you buy a game over steam for the purpose of leaking, steam or some payment provider knows your bank account. From that you can be traced down.
So to hide, a cracker would need to have a fake bank account, or live somewhere lawless like in Russia.
There's no need for a bank account, since you can buy games on steam using gift cards bought with cash.
Oh great! Then that is no problem at all.
you can top up your steam account with cash directly at any payment terminal
