Because I actually enjoy video games and I would prefer if the people that played them actually buy them so developers and publishers can continue to make more video games

Emulation requires way too much processing power to be viable for most people. It's not going to kill any game that was going to be even half-successful in the first place because not enough people can afford or are willing to spend enough to get a powerful enough PC. It would probably be sort of an achivement for even 100,000 people to emulate a single game, and that would certainly not hurt any decently successful games too much. Whatever piracy emulation is causing is probably not very much in the big picture.

With PC gaming becoming more popular the number of people out there with the necessary hardware are becoming more common
