Ah yes, the ol' blame the user.

Sure.

The biggest video games are all free.

Because of piracy, all the streaming services operate like free to play games. Disney+ gets $80/yr from payers. Not bad. Compare to Clash of Clans which is closer to $10-15/yr (per payer).
They're doing a good job. I am not 100% sure what the payers are paying for. Lack of technical knowledge to pirate? You're right, nobody who would know how to do this would pay.

Many at the top here have a free-to-play model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-played_video_games_by_player_count https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-played_video_game...

I'd still find piracy tempting if streaming services were free just because streaming service UIs don't offer good parental controls. All I want is a goddamn allow-list. That's it.
