I personally don't get expecting someone to put his livelihood on the line to say out loud what people want to hear. If Markiplier's lack of endorsement of piracy is what was going to stop you from pirating, I don't know what to say. If it's what it takes to make you stop supporting him, that's your choice.

For me, it sounds like he is saying, "My corporate overlords want me to say that piracy isn't the option. Heck, I don't know how it works, but it isn't too hard...uh...but I know only a little about it. They're standing behind me, aren't they?" I like him well enough, but have only watched his channel on other people's devices. If he was more senior, he might say different things, not unlike some developer studio leaders. He might not, hard to say. It won't have any bearing one way or another on my actions.
