NMS is a good example of creating a situation where people don't WANT to pirate your game. People will buy it to play with friends and it's generally a good deal. Compare that to Paradox games, who monetize everything, which I'm convinced are mostly played through piracy.
Most paradox games I've seen have an unlocker you can find online that just enables all the DLC.
Is Paradox really a good example? Their games usually have a stupid long life with deep discounts on the base game, and multiplayer allows you to play DLC that the host bought. I feel like with them, there's a "buy it on sale" or "don't buy most DLC" mentality instead of a "pirate it" mentality, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Only reason I bought CK3 was because of the Steam Workshop. Otherwise I'd be playing pirated.
