Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Nobody's pirating $5 games. People pirate price-gouge-tastic games from billion-dollar corporations that cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars in total, and are designed to exploit players' psychological weaknesses (like gambling addiction or childhood naïveté) to extract far more money from them than a reasonable adult would be willing to pay. They also ruin the experience of their own products with high-overhead DRM like Denuvo, which pirates remove. These are not honest businesses, they are extremely profitable despite widespread piracy, and they do not require or deserve your sympathy.
