Sometimes people can’t afford the extortionate game prices and thus wouldn’t be bying them no matter what.

In that case piracy is fully justified. If you wouldn't have bought it if piracy wasn't an option then I have no issues.

Bottom two reasons: yeah fuck DRM and capitalism. I didn't say I'm against pirating, I just need to find the logical justification :)
