Piracy has existed since video games have existed, and yet developers and publishers still continue to make games. So maybe it's not a huge deal like many people make it out to be?

That doesn't mean it's not bad and shouldn't be stopped. Shoplifting isn't going to kill Walmart but that doesn't mean we should be accepting of thieves. Same applies to piracy Nintendo isn't going to go under because of people emulating BotW but that doesn't mean it's​ ok. it applies less so to huge sellers like BotW but I'm legitimately bothered by the idea of underappreciated games like Tokyo mirage sessions or indies getting pirated because their low sales basically mean every potential sale matters. Every time someone pirates something like TMS instead of buying it that decreases the chances of TMS getting a sequel

Well, shoplifting and Walmart opens up another can of worms. I hate Walmart, and a lof of people steal because they're in desperate financial circumstances. I also don't think that piracy really affected the sales of TMS.
