Reading through all of the links you provided it is just the same as you. A whole lot of people talking out of their asses without jack shit to back them up. The best argument you can find is the one talking about China, but the developer there actually says that he aims to compete with Microsoft. Basically, he is a fucking idiot.
Show me a link that shows that piracy means that sales were lost. Nothing you have provided shows me anything about piracy. All you have shown me is that even developers don't know shit about the actual numbers.
