If you were a game developer. How would you feel if someone pirated your game?

I'm actually studying to become a game developer, preferabbly an AI programmer. If my game gets pirated a lot then that just mean we did a shitty job, plain and simple. I'm not afraid to face the truth, but apparently many many people are (and then they get depressed and stuff themselves ful of drugs, or they use scapegoats such as piracy).

Hmm. Another question. Did you ever think that the companies that did "shitty jobs" need the money more than the larger studios? You don't start out big. How can a small studio grow and make better games if there first game was pirated a lot?

A game doesnt need to be from a large studio or with a big budget to be good enough to buy.

That is not what I am saying. I am saying what if a new studio was formed and created a game that wasn't that good. But hey it is their first time, next time they are sure that they will make the next half-Life 2. They have learned from their mistakes and and have figured out how to do it. They are gearing up for their AAA title, but then they get a notice from their publisher. Since their first game didn't sell well and was heavily pirated  they are going to drop the newer dev. And since the dev lost their publisher and their funding they have to close down. No more new AAA ip
