We wouldn’t need DRM at all if so many PC Gamers didn’t pirate games and reduce the amount of money that goes into game development.

(I jest but ill go on to explain my feeling on this, your of course welcome to yours!)
The mass majority of pirates wouldn't be buying the games they pirate anyway, chances of it actually effecting revenu in any meaningful way are slim in my opinion and if anything the increased exposure, pirated multiplayer limitations and potential DLC (tho the industry abuse of DLC is another thread in itself) are all actually key reasons for pirates to buy after they sample and i think actually leads to more actual sales than piracy in general takes away.
If the product is gone people will pay for it, the proof of this to name just a few is evident in minecraft, Terraria and Hotline Miami... i dont even want to limit this to indy titles but since all have had extreme levels of piracy leading to increased overall sales they stand as examples why the industry copy paste "Piracy = Industry Death" is just an excuse major publishers use to put the screws to development teams and shift the blaim while justifying futher abuse of the DLC concept to line pockets of greedy deadline cutting fat cats.
