Seeing pirated material for a platform or another means the popularity grows or at the very least, demand grows. In any case, piracy is not a negative thing and is often used to test a product before forking out money for it. Often I have had to download a pirated copy of a game because the legally bought client doesn't work due to DRM. Will developers shy away from Linux because piracy happens there? Why don't they shy away from windows, osx, xbox, ps4? Just as much piracy there, infact much more still.
