Achievements not unlocking
I just bought the game on steam. I used to own a pirated copy but decided i want to support the devs. The game started on my pirated save but i reset it and started again. Anyway im playing through and although ive unlocked some achievements in-game they havent unlocked through steam. It kinda sucks for me as i usually like to go for achievements...

I would just refund it in that case, been doing this for over 25 years, long before gaming became a dirty business for dishonest people.

Piracy is a necessary evil, i will say the game is nice and i was planning on buying it as well.

Try removing all your old files.

I should have removed this post as i fixed the issue but ill keep it up for others as you provided the right answer. I fixed it by doing this
C:\Users\(USER)\AppData\Local\Game Dev Tycoon - Steam
and deleting the local storage folder and reinstalling the game.

As for your stance towards piracy I agree. I usually dont mind pirating triple A games but for a small game like this i feel like buying it was the right thing to do.
