I have hard time believing HUGE amount of people jailbreak and pirate, given that most people wouldn't know their way around jailbreak and with all those iOS upgrades you'd need to re-jailbreak it at regular intervals.
In Asia, you can walk into most malls, go to the Electronics section, and almost every other vendor will have a dirt cheap (in US standards) offer to jailbreak your phone for you. From there, a basic upsell (or free with jailbreak) is to install any iOS app they have in their library for free.
Just because it doesn't happen here in the US, doesn't mean it's the same everywhere.
The fact that people in Asia (who did not buy games 20 years ago and do not buy games now) pirate them is completely irrelevant for the actions of the US market. Unless the argument is "Americans don't buy games anymore because Asians pirate them".
I was just responding to "I have hard time believing HUGE amount of people jailbreak and pirate". Someone else is contending that if a significant number of people pirate a game, it can affect their server costs/performance.
