Initially I used to think, if I pirate the game, I am giving nothing to the dev, but in reality, I give dev some other non-monetary benefits.

I watch live streams, I watch YouTube videos, I check out subreddits etc etc. And even that engagement is good for the game. So now I've decided when I'm boycotting, I'm boycotting period.
