My favorite response thus far: (technically a portion thereof)

“The problem isn’t really that games now days are too expensive; it’s that they are too expensive to buy without testing.
Imagine going to a car dealer and asking to buy a car, you walk around at the lot and you find a car you think that you could really enjoy driving, so you start talking to the car salesman and he tells you that you’re welcome to buy the car but you can’t test-drive it first and if you buy it he’ll have to weld the hood shut before you go.”

“Another way to get around piracy. Make your game free!”

But you’ll have to stop making games when you start starving.

“This is a good example of Aikido technique in marketing.”

Or… “exploiting” ;)

Thanks Juuso.
This is a good example of Aikido technique in marketing. Not to fight with evil but to reuse its power for your own success.
