That kind of feels like conjecture in my opinion. While yeah piracy is absolutely a problem on PC, that doesn’t mean that everyone on the platform is doing it. There’s still a ton of money to be made from sales on there.
Well it is, but the writing is also on the wall, computer hardware increases will have more of an impact than consoles which are subsidised
I don’t think it out of the question that to play the newest game on PC your only option will be to stream it from PlayStation or xbox as that will work on cheaper hardware that more people have
At that point the piracy backup goes out the window

Maybe for first party games. But I find it hard to believe that companies like Capcom for example would abandon PC.
Realistically though, considering we are clearly in bizarro world anything is possible at this point haha
