I used to pirate a lot when I was younger and didn’t have the money.
Now Epic Games and Amazon Games take care that I never have to buy games any more because they give them away for free. I only buy games if there’s a specific one I really want to play.
For the same reason I don’t need to pirate any more either, it’s just not worth the risk of catching malware or something, and there’s more than enough free games around.
But what I wanted to say is the alternative to piracy is playing free games, not paying for a game.
The cool thing about your comment, it can be applied to the entertainment industry in general. Movies, music, TV. A lot of this applies. Some companies equate having a lock on the content means they only produce the finest of content that must be of the highest value. But by God they can put out some really awful crap and charge a premium for it. Thank Jehovah for libraries.
