I also believe that the majority of people who pirate games have zero intention of buying the game anyway.
I also believe that many people who have pirated games would have purchased the same game, whether at full price or down the line during sales, had the option to play the game for free not presented itself.
I also believe that people who pirate expose their friends and close ones to the practice of piracy.
I also believe that piracy is genuinely easier than it's ever been to do, giving people who hesitated due to technical incompetence less reason to shy away from piracy over time.
I also believe that pirates of all shapes and sizes have basically been handed a wild list of excuses which they believe validates their actions, excuses which may or may not have actually been relevant a decade ago but which tend not to hold up in the year of our lord 2016.
I also believe that the more piracy is looked at as a reality of the industry as opposed to something that should be quashed regardless of circumstance, it will continue to propagate almost uninhibited as it has.
