Well. No.
Second hand still entices people to buy DLC, Microtransactions, Expansion packs, Season passes and so on.

Pirated games usually include all the above or none at all and is often even locked out from having any of those things.

So what you're saying is Piracy not only entices people to buy DLC but also the game itself? Well, if that isn't more money for the creator. Unless of course the pirate is a scumbag and buys second hand.

I am saying second hand sales entices people to do that, pirated games generally do not.

As for Performance, with everything cranked up to max at 1440p it runs at around 60fps on my 1080. It varies a lot and in cities it often drops below 60 but never below 50. So far I tried to reduce the shadows but that doesn't seem to help at all. Maybe it's the CPU.

That said, the game is very very pretty. ELEX's average performance was about 10fps higher but it's not even close in graphics. And it's not just the graphics and details, it's also the design. The world map is the prettiest one I have ever seen in a game. Because it's actually 3D and the symbols move dynamically as such height aligned. The draw distance is also amazing. There is some LOD going on but it's not as annoying and I haven't seen major pop ins yet.

I know it's not fair to compare with ELEX but damn, even the bow mechanics are top notch^^

edit: it might be the CPU

 

And I don't even have streams running in the background yet.

It's definitely your CPU. One thread is pegged at 100% and another is near that too.
Overclocking should fix that.

If you want to know if your GPU is holding you back, find out how much GPU utilization you have... But a Geforce 1080 generally should not be held back at 1440P.

Sounds very good! I played, and ejoyed, every Assassin's Creed game from 1 to Revelations, but then came AC 3... I couldn't finish it, and except for Black Flag (which I still have to play) I've stayed away from the series.

It looks like Origins could bring me back to the series.

I played the first game for a few hours... But could never really sink my teeth into the franchise despite multiple attempts. I'll likely get this game when it's in the bargain bin.
