Just speaking personally, I still buy what I would buy without piracy as an option. Piracy just gives me more options.

As much as I complain about denuvo I still do buy the games even if they do get cracked. I don't pirate any PC games, since exes are just not something I want to risk. I've got a collection of legal games that surpasses the availability of gamepass. PC gamepass advertisement says 'Play over 100 high-quality games on Windows PC.' That's a baby collection compared to what I got in my legal library of games. That's not even bringing GOG into the mix.
