People are already starting to buy games they can't pirate.
Any data to back that up?

Are publishers really willing to cut into their profits so they pat themselves on the back for beating piracy?
That's just adorable. Piracy of anything will never end, EVER. It's only a matter of time.
Even Denuvo said that it's not uncrackable, but only protects the game long enough for it to no longer matter. Of course it's going to be cracked eventually, but Denuvo is a team consisting of ex-scene crackers. Every time someone cracks Denuvo, they change the DRM and we go back to square one.
Right now scene groups are stumped. They haven't been able to crack games released in December 2015. If it's going to take this long for every Denuvo game, piracy is going to take a massive knock. People are already starting to buy games they can't pirate.
I doubt it. People who pirate games are the ones who cannot afford them in the first place or never cared too much about them, so it makes no difference. The mentality of a pirate isn't "I cannot pirate this so I will buy it". The mentality is "I cannot pirate this, so I guess I'll play something else".

For me and my allies even as early as turn 7-8 full stacks of Chaos Undivided troops were spawning within our borders and sieging towns, when no one but Ostland even had a standing army. Further south for Wissenland, half and full stacks of Skaven were spawning, and for the far-westerners full stacks of Vampire Counts were spawning.

Isn't Shogun 2 the game where if you kill 10 soldiers, the morale of the entire unit collapses an retreats? Did they even fix that yet?
