I'd like to have a healthy discussion* on this, as I started this in another topic, it would be more suited in its own topic.

cr@cked versions (which is something that me and WSGF is against)
Of course that is your opinion, and you have every right to have that opinion, and I respect that. However I want to say that I do not agree. Not paying is a form of protest as well, against devs not doing their jobs well enough (namely, supporting Eyefinity, so a fix is not necessary).
As what is the advantage of using Steam over piratery? That is updates. Pirated releases never - or rarely - get updated. This could be used in their advantage as well, so to say that multimonitor support is added in a patch, then how quick do you think a multi monitor user is going to get the official version?
In conclusio:
In my opinion piracy is an incentive to keep supporting your game after release and apply patches, to even new content. Examples: Don't Starve, Minecraft, several android apps with lots of useful updates with new content.*discussion: In a healthy discussion all opinions are respected, both for and against. A well funded opinion is backed by factual arguments. Arguments can be debunked in a respectful manner with counter arguments. If unsure, or pointed towards it, please read up on
this wikipedia article on fallacies. This can also happen by accident as the poster is not aware. Don't start flaming at this person, but try to make clear on why his argument is a fallacy and do this in a relatively polite manner.
Also I must note that the general stance of WSGF as an entity is
against piracy. As with all opinions, this must be respected, however one can respect that and not agree to it at the same time.
