Even if people download the pirated ROM, I hope at some point they square up and buy a legit copy at some point in the future.

That's a shame. But this is a good reminder (at least for me) to buy the game.

Looks like it's still up for preorders on LRG for another couple weeks.

Awesome! If anyone is okay with the Asia multi-language version (for Switch and PS5) Play Asia is also taking pre-orders.

Wait, are they not releasing it on Sega Genesis? It's called Return To Genesis.
Edit: reading helps:

developed for the Genesis / Mega Drive and is running Steam under emulation – isn't due to be released on Sega's 16-bit console until next year

Excellent! I know a lot of folks have (legitimate) issues with Limited Run, so I'm glad they're not the only option.
