It doesn't make a difference what you do. There will still be piracy and any marketing/management team in any company should know how to account for it beforehand.

Like I said earlier microsoft is STILL pirated to this date. It doesn't change the fact that they still are earning money. They have BIGGER things to worry about than a group of non-paying people. A huge chunk of their profits come from related subsidiaries like CORPORATE BUSINESS, hello!

XBOX sales still remain the same (in losses/breakeven) despite the change in the recent trend of advancement in pirating XBOX games.

Keep dreamin', haters gonna hate.
Yup, the companies are trying to work on DRM but obviously, it isn't successful.
