That is a good and valid question. Talking about the US exclusively, piracy is a grey area. Some want stuff for free and now. On the other hand, some are willing to try things before giving money for the real thing or wait. There can’t be only one for piracy.
With videogames, I’d say the number of sales are way lower than 14 years for profitability. I think it may be closer to 5 years or under. By 14 years, the game console has already gone on to it’s new iteration for a few years.
I believe in waiting until the next gen or until developers can’t make any more money for games. “Pirating for good” is either people wanting stuff for free now or the companies are making it extremely difficult to buy stuff. It’s up to the person and not really the masses.
