Not to continue the discussion on piracy, instead of the game here as the thread intended, but I didn't think to add earlier: that it's been proven that if anything, piracy mostly helps developers. Probably due to the game getting exposure, and a lot of people just end up buying whatever their pirated, if they liked it enough.
Although, the government wants you to think otherwise about piracy, as there was a bunch of studies done on this subject a couple years ago, but they tried to bury it, since it provided results opposite of why they funded the research, haha. I'm not saying I entirely condone piracy, because of this knowledge, but it hurts a very small percentage of the developer's revenues, if at all.
Take f95zone for instance. I've seen posts by developers for the games listed here, where they were just glad that they were getting so much free publicity just by the games being noted here, rather than on their tiny unknown websites, especially if their a small nobody team, although that's most a case by case opinion for each developer/studio, but I'm sure you get what I'm trying to say.
