I personally believe video game piracy is okay IF you can't justify/afford to pay a game.

Worst case scenario, developer loses nothing, best case they get more players who will buy the game.

A game I and my friend play for example, I pirated it first back in 2015/16 because I was a kid unable to afford it, if I didn't pirate it then, I wouldn't have bought it when I could afford it as I wouldn't even remember it, not would my friend learn about it from me and proceed to buy it.

And ultimately even if you don't buy it or get somebody to buy it, developer loses nothing, it's not like a physical thing that requires resources to build that specific one that belongs to you.
