False narrative, there's really no guarantee that a pirated game, would've been a sale, if piracy weren't possible.

Exactly

Yes like most things the media does this is a sensationalist article. But you guys are also both wrong. 

Yes, every pirated game does not equal a sale but you also cannot generalize and say does pirating would never have paid for the game. I feel its obvious. The industry stands to make at least 10% more yearly than they are right now without piracy. 

That's why I didn't speak in absolutes.  There's no proof either way.  Conclusions cannot be drawn, because we simply lack the data to make them.
