I think it's more the fact you hit the nail on the head
The ease of pirating the last few years has meant that it's been all too easy to simply download the latest game - especially for kids who don't have independent finances. The PC community in general is reeping what it has sown.
I hate to say it but the advert is true "you wouldn't steal a car..." - probably the most annoying advert of all time mind you.
That being said there are a few things the developers can do - for example releasing demos of games as at least half the people I know who pirate games do it to find out what they're like.
