Videogame Piracy - Worth it?

Deltaspectre writes: "As we know, many people regularly pirate movies and music, but in another realm of entertainment (console/computer gaming) is it worth it to pirate? Is there really any good reason to pirate games than not having the money to buy the game (if that's a problem for you, you shouldn't be concentrating on gaming)? My thoughts are that just downloading something using Bittorrent is getting common enough that a majority of the people won't even buy the product even if they love it and have the money."
