I think piracy in the gaming scene is dead. Nobody pirates games anymore.
Media could be argued the same way gaming used to be. I wouldn't have bought 99% of the media I have but got only just because.

i think it does harm sales. i know in my own case i don't buy games unless i have to. example is my 3DS, i bought like 15-20 games for it but once the piracy stuff came out,  got it setup and put a 128GB sd card in it and downloaded all the games that looked good and haven't bought a game since.

now i will say since then i bought a switch and games for it so maybe subconsciously the money i'm saving by not buying 3ds games, i'm just turning around spending on other nintendo products.

and stuff like movies/ music i absolutely don't buy. but i can't say i ever did. when i was a kid my parents would buy me cassette tapes in discount bins. by the time i was a teenager the internet had all the music i wanted for free.

Man in just won't pay for some things. Like GSP vs Bisping.

I ain't paying $80 to watch that. But damn, if I can find a 10 second gif of GSP choking out Bisping, then hell ya!

Oh, that's a spoiler. GSP choked out Bisping, sorry not warning you sooner.
