This is the point that I hope gets taken away from this - piracy is often a last resort or because of the company people are pirating from, not out of laziness, greed, or wanting it for free. Sure, that does happen, but I have seen a lot of people buy a game from EA, and then pirate it to get a DRM and Origin free copy, since those often work better and crash less than the DRM ones. EA could easily do away with it, and piracy would drop. Companies need to realize the cause and effect of piracy.
