But your comparing something that exists to something that is mearly a copy. When you pirate a game you do steal the game but you dont physically steal the game, rather you copy the game. When you steal from a bank you are taking money from a whole. When you copy a game you are stealing something that you probably never would have bought
That doesn't apply. What you buy when you buy a game isn't the copy of the game in its entirity, you buy the right to USE that copy of the game. When you pirate a game, you are illegally obtaining the game and playing it despite not having bought the right to do so.
Whether its something you hold in your hand or not doesn't matter, its money no matter what.
