If you were to walk into a store that said "please support the creator" as payment, your shelves would be empty. Or in other words if software costed no money and always relied on donation, you'd be bankrupt.
But, you can't stop crackers. Bits of memory are bits of memory. They can be changed. The balance is making games highly available, and having content beyond just the base game. Such as online play, or physical merchandise with the purchase.
If I got a poster every time I bought a game id be liable to buy more games that I may not even play.

Yes, but that's because when you take a physical good off the shelf there isn't still a copy on the shelf. Software does not have this problem. > Or in other words if software costed no money and always relied on donation, you'd be bankrupt. There are obvious examples that contradict your point: Linus and The Toady One come immediately to mind. Though, admittedly, they are outliers.
