I'm a big pc game pirate, and when I got a wii I assumed I'd mod it and play "backups" *cough*.. yeah..
but then I decided, you know, I really am getting sick of generic games and sequels to sequels to prequels of games. So with the wii, if a good unique game that I enjoy comes out, I'm going to buy it. I'll vote with my $$'s to *try* to help more unique and original games see the light of day.
and besides, once you're working, 50 bucks for a game isn't a big deal.
