For gamers, it means that the studio may be able to afford to release a sequel to their favourite games

For pirates, it means they either have to wait until it's cracked, or buy a legit copy

Don't act like every gamer is automatically a pirate, millions of people are perfectly happy to pay for games and want to see their favourite studios continue

I'm not sure where you got the idea I said this. I don't think every gamer is automatically a pirate, though a lot of people do follow the path of least resistance.

I pay for my videogames. I support indie devs that don't bundle DRM crap with their games. For AAA DRM-ridden games, I simply don't buy or play them. (To be honest, I don't have a lot of time to play any games these days).

DRM is anticonsumer for legal buyers. It gives them a worse experience than the people who play pirated copies.
