My point is that there are still people that were never going to buy the game outside that 20% of lost revenue.
My point is, that doesn’t matter. Will there be people pirating games that never would have purchased otherwise? Absolutely. Any game is a good value for $0. But many people use this argument as some sort of mental gymnastics to justify pirating. I’m just saying, the OP is evidence that that argument is bullshit. Many many people will choose to pirate rather than paying for a game they want to play.
