Yeah, people pirate it to see if it's actually good, like a demo. If there were no pirating option than those people would never even tried the game. And after they like it they buy it or even promote it by making content, localizations and there was even a cosplay (with nude pics too). Piracy is like a marketing tool now. + pirated version becomes outdated and users may want to buy licence to get a fresh release.

If it's high you can get the same treatment from foes as if you have a high weak stat (they try to grab you, not beat you) without having reduced damage output. Also it changes how npc's greet you in dialogues.
