If only buying games actually supported devs anymore. Devs seem to get fired for any reason nowadays.
Bad game? Fired. Good game? Also fired. Popular game that people loved? Believe it or not, also fired. Develop a game only for the company to change direction and the game gets cancelled? Absolutely fired.
You’d think these publishers would value talent as much as their intellectual property but they seem to not care anymore for either.
I’m sure most pirates don’t sit here and want a crack for a 10-20€ Indie Game.
But a 80€ Game (sometimes even with additional microtransaktions like skins etc.)
Yeah I see that.
I get where you’re coming from and I agree the job security for Devs and the financing of games is fucked.
It’s still disingenuous to claim that pirating the game has the same impact as buying.

Plenty of singleplayer games are from indies, those more or less support the developer.
