Lex: "No, this is not about boats sailing with black flags and a skull imprinted on them, we’re not going to be tackling about Henry Avery’s adventures of a pirate. It’s about illegal copies sold for a cheaper price or download games for free from the interwebs."

It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
There's a lot more games on PC than there are on consoles...
Really? That's funny, because every console up to this generation has been hacked to play free games. Every. Single. One. Atari through NES, through PSX, through PS3, and everything in between. This generation is the only one not yet cracked. Yet.
Cracking consoles gives you the entire package too. Online play, updates, free DLC, everything. Not so on PC.
I'd say console pirates have it far better than PC pirates. Hey, always popular to trash on PC for piracy though I guess.
"One Big Reason Why Devs Opt for Consoles than PC" < One big reason you should read a book on English grammar before trying to write a headline : P
Scratch that, I just read the article, and the whole thing is full of oddities. Maybe proofread your writings before you post it? It's hard to take your article seriously this way.
This article seems incredibly biased. Where is the information from developers talking about PC? I get this is an opinion piece, but I feel that for this kind of article, it is lacking too much data. How much money are they losing on PC when people pirate games? Is it better for them to completely opt out PC? No it isn't.
There are always money being made from PC. Alot of the time it depends if the game is optimized really well or if it's a terrible port which we have seen several times. If the PC version of a game is horribly optimized like Batman Arkham Knight, Dishonored 2 and Watch Dogs, then honestly I don't blame people for pirating them. Why should people spend their hard earned money on a half baked port/game that doesn't even run?
There are alot of things to consider. I don't support pirating games, but I don't hate it either. It honestly depends on the optimization and support it receives. If it's good, then people should buy it. If it's crap, than why should people buy it?
There are so many things to take into for this kind of situation. And this article is simply lacking the data for it from the people who spoke out about pirating games and the revenue loss and etc.
And honestly, I don't think pirating games is as big of an issue as people make it seem to be. Yes it's bad, but people really make things blown out of proportion.
You forgot the most important thing. Its easier to optimize code for a single device. All consoles all the same. PCs are not. There is a reason why some games are horrible optimized on PC. *cough AMD cough*
