actually i think a game never getting cracked hurts the game makers because a ton of people will never end up playing it and potentially buying more games from that dev or a sequel to the cracked game or dlc etc...
the majority of people who buy games are going to buy it regardless if its cracked or not, thats why drm free is starting to get more popular because devs who arent greedy bastards realize this fact and know drm is only hurting the paying customers in the long run, piracy is just a boogeyman the huge game companies that are publicly traded and have shareholders use as an excuse to throw around when their stocks take a dive
