Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

Here’s the question: will people pay for the games or not?

It's not like Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 even with all the bug issues weren't a big financial success or anything...

I think you are operating under the assumption that everyone would pirate or that a large portion of the public that pirates would have gone on to buy the game during the first couple of months if they couldn't pirate it.
