It's a bit long but it does check out.
I used to pirate a lot when I was younger and didn't have the money.
Now Epic Games and Amazon Games take care that I never have to buy games any more because they give them away for free. I only buy games if there's a specific one I really want to play.
For the same reason I don't need to pirate any more either, it's just not worth the risk of catching malware or something, and there's more than enough free games around.
But what I wanted to say is the alternative to piracy is playing free games, not paying for a game.
