Video Game Piracy costs the industry as much as it makes!

Disagree.  One could 'think' that, but with no real evidence to support it other than the amount of times a game is pirated, it's really only drawing a conclusion without the bare minimum of necessary facts.

There are reports on it that suggest otherwise. But you're reading too much into my wording. I say "impact" not "big impact" or "small impact". Just "impact". 

Because at the end of the day there is an impact on total legitimate sales, but the devs aren't losing out on any real physical revenue. 

What they're losing out on is theoretical revenue that may or may not be there. 

Ok, so take a look at what you just wrote, and the title of your thread.   See the difference between what you're saying here, and the title that more than suggests otherwise?

And if you have reports that suggest otherwise, I'd be interesting in seeing them.  However, given what you've posted in this article, the only response that is necessary is 'correlation does not imply causation'.
