Misleading title. Of course piracy hurts sales. Just that "every BitTorrent download doesn’t represent a successful copy of a game, let alone a lost sale" (quote).*

It's true. I never would've bought the game in the first place.

Last time I heard, some site somehow came up with the number that it's like for every 157 pirated copies, 2 would be legit buyers and something like 15 would be potential buyers upon good reviews and what not.
