So, what you're trying to say is, pirating the game is better than not playing the game at all? You do realize that none of what you just said justifies piracy at all, right?

Figure you publish a game, and someone pirates it. You confront the person, and they say "It's cool man, I told my friend it was a good game, and he pirated it too.", would you find that an acceptable response?

I do realize that a few people like to test games for themselves before purchasing it, and I can see how that's reasonable. Very, very few people actually do this. They continue to play, and play, and update, and play some more, until they get bored with the game, at which point they abandon it, leaving the devs with nothing.
