It's simple. Piracy is theft.
If you buy your games (like I do and I presume most people using this site do) it does affect us. Consider:
1) Piracy is one of the factors pushing up price of games
2) Piracy hurts game developers and can affect the industry - look at the undeniable negative impact its had on PC gaming
3) Piracy is one of the major factors behind DRM and copy protection. Now, we all (and I include myself) complan about measures such as those taken with PC Bioshock - but can you really blame the developers for trying to protect their IP?
The simple fact is all the excuses 'I wanted to try it', 'it hurts no-one', 'I wouldn't have bought it anyway', 'games are always cracked and its too tempting', etc. are just that - excuses for doing the wrong thing.
You make a choice to pirate something - and the moment you do you're a thief just as if you'd broken into someone's house and stole something.
