People who pirate video games are for the most part, are:- Broke and poor gamers from other nations with high currency exchange, people in countries where the game is banned, people who are looking to test the game out first.
Or option B; cheap selfish d-bags. Not everyone who pirates games is a victim of finance or a "good guy" looking for a demo before buying. It's laughable.
yeah everygame should have demo...to see if it can be installed, did the graphic can be run
All games will be pirated eventually and the devs know this. The delay in crack that DRMs create is the main purpose of their existence. This delay causes all the people who were going to buy the game to actually buy it. After the delays and at this point those who will pirate the game will be those who really couldn't afford it or had no intention of buying it in the first place.

True..see Mr. Krabs there are always a Mr.Krabs Living in our society
DRM is laws-of-physics-breakingly hard (no matter what clever encryption schemes you come up with you have to give the customer an unencrypted copy of the content at some point, and at that point you can capture the encryption key and/or decrypted content from memory). Businesses continue chasing this philosopher's stone because they cannot accept that security engineering is kinda hard, with predictable results.
Piracy is a service issue.
Read and learn.
So, let me get this right - if I have a physical box, which costs money to manufacture ans ship returned, I do not lose any money. If I have a digital copy, which costs no money to manufacture or distribute returned, I lose money? If you have a ton of unsold box sets, that's a loss. Lots of people not downloading your game, on the other hand, does not.
If nothing else, if a customer returns a digital preorder after launch because the game is crap then it still amounts to an interest free loan (EA gets $50 a month prior to launch, and has to give $50 back when the game is released - go find me a single bank that offers such a good deal).
For the sake of argument, some of those people that did pirate Super Meat Boy could have bought the game if piracy didn’t exist but there is no actual way to calculate that lost revenue.
Newsflash: Statistics exist. Maybe finish highschool before you go lecturing us on matters of business.

You can always go to ComicCon or E3 and there are sites that can identify benchmark stuffs you can always visit, plus the pre-reviews done by your trusted game reviewer.

Correct, you lose money on pirated digital copies because it's still money you could have earned--and it's money you likely figured into forecasts. However, since the digital copy cost nothing to manufacture (after a certain point), it's difficult to feel sorry for a publisher.
You do realize that the evidence to suggest that pirates cause economic harm is shaky at best, right? Or at worst, you could use the term "complete and utter bollocks".
Oh did you know terrorist groups are usually behind the pirating stuffs they wait for the cracked versions and make tons of copies to sell it and procure weapons that will utterly terrorize people? and technically those who patronizing pirated stuffs is actually funding their terrorizing activities? just a thought
