To add onto this, when someone who can't afford something pirates something, there is no lost sale because there never was a sale there to begin with. It didn't take any money away from the company since they were never going to see any money from that person.

With that said, the only piracy I partake in is for archival purposes, and like you I buy Steam games regardless because it's too convenient like you said.
