Alone can, if not abused.
In the multi - no. Except that all at once.
Piracy - no. Although use...
money is not at all enough,especially if the games are worth 2 Grand on consoles, so 50: 50.
When you earn yourself, you have to buy the game, but I had to crack. If game developers and publishers would earnestly approach the development and sale of games, I'm against hacking. But, unfortunately, not always it happens... Not always a demo to try out the game. For example, sometimes I tried pirates, and realizing that the game is decent, I bought it. Many of the games that I managed to pass in the days of lack of money, I bought Trims, and became much happier :) I would say, I am against negligent publishers/developers against piracy. But there are first is and the second.
The problem is that in most cases actively playing those who have simply no money on the game. And piracy - mainly for children. Making it easier to buy the game and not sweating with breaking and renewal, and not to suffer conscience (who have it). So I think that over time, buying games will be more, although the level of piracy is unlikely to change much, as the current generation of gamers will grow up, and it arrives and change.
If you have your money - buy.

If you do not want to spend money on games - play free or do not play at all.
Personally, I don't practice. I don't approve of myself, I can't judge the others. But anger at cheaters holds, of course)
Hacking games is great. A person cannot, for example, buy a game, there is no money, or it is difficult to assess whether the game is worth this money or not, you don't want to buy a pig in a poke, and then regret the quality and gameplay of the game, and the money spent on it. The repack downloaded the pirate one, played it and appreciated the game, and if you liked the game, you can already buy it, and you won't be sorry for the money, since you already know what kind of game it is, so I'm for pirate repacks, they hack games in at the same time favor the sale of computer games!
This is neither good nor bad, it is competition. It's like Africa would be left without predators, if only herbivores remain - they will eat all the grass and die out. Just as the lion has eaten the entire population of gazelles, a true pirate must understand that as a pirate he cannot claim to continue the game of the series, since the studio may simply not release a sequel due to the lack of financial attractiveness of the project.
Piracy kind of self-regulates the consumption market. There will be no content - there will be no piracy, there is content - there is piracy. Piracy, in fact, if it is not related to making a profit, is a common exchange. As it was before - it was an exchange of cartridges / videotapes between friends of interest, now it is a torrent, the essence has not changed.
There are also no statistics: Spiral -> bought.
There is a ton of content that is not licensed for sale in certain regions, and downloading for free is the only way to get what you want.
