lets say you have spend 10 years making a game. and you put it on steam for $10. but wait. you are making $0 dollars because everyone is just pirating it, and then demanding you make a second one.
The reality is that Nintendo removed your ability to buy those old games for $10, because they’d rather rent you those games forever on their subscription service. If they were on Steam for $10, I’d have bought those old ROMs.

Didn’t tears of the kingdom got pirated in like 1 week within release? That must have affected sales in some degree

Lots of theoreticals and assumptions. Not seeing any evidence here.
I also find it laughable that you want to compare Nintendo to some scrappy artist. Piracy does not impact everyone the same way.
