>have always asserted that denuvo does not increase sales because pirates are lost sales
>mfw just pre-ordered crimson desert because it'll have denuvo and there'll be no other way to play it
I concede. Maybe Denuvo improves sales

Human beings will just go for the easiest and the most convenient option, be that paying, pirating, streaming, etc; like Gaben said piracy is a service problem, Steam was successful because it made buying PC games easy and effortless. The second piracy becomes more attractive than buying something, people start doing that instead.

I literally had money set for MGS Delta, but the pirate version leaked before the actual game released, so I pirated it instead and never purchased it. It's like >>735177542 says, piracy does decrease sales when it is as convenient or even more convenient than buying.

To be fair, nobody would ever buy a Korean game if it didn't have Denuvo. It'd sell worse than Metaphor.
