Piracy rate is at least 50% I guarantee you that. Which is already too much.

Then again Im old school I guess. I buy my music and dont illegally download it. I buy my movies and dont illegally download it. I buy my games.

If someone else put time and effort into making something I shouldnt get it for free unless they willingly give it to me for free. They should be compensated for their work.

Most pirates will argue it has to do with consumer rights and such but to be frank it doesnt. It has to do with someone wanting something for free. Pirates are hugely holding the industry back and in the long run only damaging the industry and themselves

In a free market if a service has no buyers whatsoever then something is wrong with it. Trying to add restrictions and laws to stop it won't work and it'll only make matters worse. Imagine libraries being restricted because someone wants to rent books for a fee. If people aren't inclined to pay for your service, then the problem lies with you and you alone. 

I'm sorry, but as much as I like games, if a service is financially unsustentable then it's going to cease to exist.
