Again, if we&#x27;re being realistic, nothing in the game tells us that it takes place in the golden age of piracy. It&#x27;s piracy at sea (because &#x27;overboard&#x27;) and it&#x27;s taking stuff (&#x27;booty&#x27;), but we have no other indicators. Well, unlikely to be modern pirates because &#x27;gold coins&#x27;, though possible. Piracy goes at least as far back as ancient Greece and up to today, with the world&#x27;s hottest spot having moved to around Singapore. :)
