I hate to say it, but if video games are going to be increasingly made by AI ... my feeling is that I'd be ok in that case with piracy. You don't want to pay human staff and/or lay off people and you want to use generative art trained on other people's work without crediting them, then I think piracy is fair game (easy to do on the PC platform).
Nintendo might be the rare exception where I'd pay for their games, but that would probably be about it. Other companies ... I don't really care. Again though that's under the above stated case.
