My point is that piracy kills some specific games, related to the public targeted for thephtml.
That's the case for Ace attorney serie, for example. This type of game is played by 'elite' gamer. (The oposite Would be the 'normal' player that would play only AAA or équivalent game). This type of people would enjoy different type of game and not only COD, FIFA or fallout.
Problem is that pirate are elite player IMO. Kind of casual geek that enjoy doing something cool with the hardware, even if they are just homebrew user and not maker.
And so. About those specific game, their fate is to be sold to this target on few numbers, but then piracy comes in the way. The target itself is a pirate and a lot of them would pirate the game instead of buying. That means that the game serie might never be released in the country, etc.
In oposite, a little girl playing my little brony on her console would probably not be a pirate. The target here is some type of player that would probable not hack the game.
About ace attorney serie, i was told that the serie was the most pirated serie of the NDS game list.
In my country, while we had AA1234 translated, AA investigation was never translated, then AAI2/didn't come out of japan. Now AA5 is only on eshop and not translated to.
That's piracy work.
Of course that doesn't mean not piracing = instant but, but in the AA case, that'means that public exists outqide of japan.
Sorry for beeing a scumbag talking about elite
Edit : a brief article about AA released

Pays attention to this :
"So screw you Nintendo for making your consoles so easy to hack. That may be OK for you, considering you make so many games that appeal to people who couldn't hack their way out of a paper bag, but for third parties working to make core-friendly games, easily hacked consoles can be a death sentence"
Forget how rude the author can be, just focus on the fact that like i said , public targeted by some games like Mario serie and other is not often a pirate, while other are over pirates by it's own potential customer.
