[Claudius]

I think of two things

1) stealing is wrong. You harm someone when you steal. Do you want to live in a world where people are harming each other? I don't. I hate that about this world and I don't steal because it is an example of what I can control to make a good world.

2) everything has multiple causes. the less than success wasn't only because of the piracy. some games are successful despite piracy. that point can be misleading don't get me wrong I think the world would be better games cheaper companies with more budget to do cool things without pirates. And the pirates would be better off because they are harming others which is not good for them - bad karma (I believe). But I think people are recognizing something real one they honestly see that there is more than one cause for every effect. One example of a hidden cause of piracy and games success (so one of the other causes than piracy itself) is economic scarcity and lack of education to value the publisher and the negative effects of stealing.
