This developer is just whining. As the other article said, it's very easy to blame piracy for everything. Boldly pointing that something is "bullshit" without any evidence whatsoever does not make that guy look better, either. I had never heard of his game, but now I know to steer far from him.
While the second article pointed out how difficult it can be to get a game in certain European countries, I'd go far beyond. The video games industry seems to care only about the US, richer western Europe and Japan, where there are cheap games on every corner. Sometimes, rarely, Korea/China. That leaves most countries with highly expensive games incompatible with the average wage. The eShop does not help at all, as Nintendo always opts to put digital prices even higher than the location's retail price to avoid console boycotts from shops. In these situations, yes, it helps a lot to see if a game isn't plain "bullshit" before bothering to buy instead of blindly wasting one fifth of your paycheck, even more so when nowadays "professional" reviews are completely unreliable. Although many change their account's location to Alaska or something like that, that is just as illegal as pirating.
In short, they don't make their games officially available for my location, I pirate it. They are not losing sales because they are not available here.
Of course, there are always people who just don't want to pay, but I believe these don't hurt the market as much as people usually think.
Plus, hacking will inevitably lead to extra features for the console, higher console sales and homebrew game development. About his statement, not everybody has the means or dedication to care about the real dev kit. Many just want to be amused by seeing their own game in a big-name console, even if it is some crappy glitchy pong.
If pirating kills a console, then the DS and the PSP must have been failures, no?
