Even license holders benefit from using the pirated versions of games:

Denuvo is awful. Anno 1800 uses it, I can't tell you the number of times I've had to fiddle with my computer because it doesn't want to connect to it's server and says I can't play the game.

If the pirated version wasn't so buggy I'd use that, even though I've paid for the game.
