It encourages some gamers to do that. Others actually care to respect their licences.

In other words - if I have an opportunity to organize LAN games of DomII, I will either try to convince the other players to purchase their own copies, or buy them myself. Either would be easier, and more likely to occur (esp. the latter) if there was an option to purchase just an additional key at a reduced rate, but I will not look for a crack, or use one if I know there is one.
