Generally it's agreed the best way to stop piracy is by offering a more convenient alternative. I generally for example don't pirate video games available on Steam. With streaming services being so disjoint and expensive now I've gone back to pirating, at least with cable you can bundle channels.
I think with gaming that is a factor, but personally I think the larger deterrent for pirating games is at least for multiplayer games you can't really pirate them while still being able to play online most of the time.
