I don't think that, if ALL gamez had low prices, people would continue to download them. I feel sick when I see dl links to gamez which cost 15 euros, but I understand (NOT justify) the motives of those who download games which cost 50-60 euros. There are too many games, too much similar, nobody obliges us to buy everything, it's true, but if a game would last one month (= approx 30-45 hours), 40 euros (not 50 anyway) would be an honest price. 90% of games last max. 20 hours, it's not possible to include in this type of considerations the online gaming 'cause it's not a "quality" of the game, it's a mere possibility. However piracy is not so dangerous as they want us to believe, it hurts small software houses leading them to give up but the big ones (EA, Ubisoft and so on) still have big income as they are able to "recycle" their preceiding gamez without offering any of really "new". So don't worry, I don't think they will ever know what is poverty....
