Because this loss was over explicitly stolen product and information. If this was old games they didn't sell any more it would be one thing, but this was current hardware and games, which piracy on a grand scale has killed consoles before. I defend piracy as a means of preservation or to escape shitty DRM programs every time, but this was strictly harmful. This isn't even tpuching on his laundering, which is what got him the jail time he did, not the piracy.
