Valve(Steam owners) and CD Projekt Red(Good Old Games owners) seem to be the only two companies that care about their customers though, especially CD Projekt Red. They hate DRM and don't use it in any of their games. They even gave people a free upgrade of The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition if people still had and inputted their Witcher 2 CD Key. Valve likes to give away a lot of the DLC they make for free. Plus, Steam sales are awesome. Getting a $40.00 game for $10.00 is a great deal. They are the only two developers that really deserve to earn a profit. I don't pirate games though. Mainly because unlike VNs or Anime. Video games seem to be much higher on risk factor and I am worried I will get caught pirating a game.
If I become an author I would like to get paid for my works. I will do what Neil Gaiman did and do my best to convince the publisher I sign with to distribute copies of my book for free but I still want to earn money on my books that get sold.
