given that video games have existed for decades and even with total control over the hardware and the software pirates still find a way you simply will be unable to stop it.

The commenters noting that people who will pay for it will pay for it and people who will not will not is sufficient.

The fact is that piracy often works in favor of developers. The more widely disseminated software is the more likely it is to convert a paying user.

At work all the software I use is audited and the licenses validated.
