You're sort of right.
I can promise you I've played through more pirated games than I have the ones I own legally.
Some games bore me too much to play and a pirated game is much easier to get rid of.
Right, but you've played through more pirated games because you've had ACCESS to more pirated games. It still surely would have been more satisfying (at least for the majority) if you had actually purchased them. If a title is released that you've been dying for, and you have no money, then sure you'll download it and play the hell out of it (Super Mario Galaxy 2 in my case).... but if you like it enough, it should certainly be added to your legitimate collection. And the majority of downloads are games that people don't actually have that much interest in anyway, and as you said, they're much, much easier to get rid of after 10 minutes play. This is often unfortunate, because it's easy to hit the delete button before realizing that if you'd given the game a little more of your time, it may have turned out to be an absolute gem. This is very similar to pirating music. It's easy to give a pirated album a quick listen and dispose of it as garbage if it's not catchy enough to keep your interest in the first few minutes, but if you'd actually purchased said album, you may listen to it long enough to discover something deeply layered that may turn out to be a favorite for a lifetime.
How in the world did that make sense? If you had read my posts, I actually have access to more LEGAL games that I bought myself or my father bought me.
So unfortunately, I'd have to disagree with you.
A pirated game, I could delete and retrieve all over again.
A legal game, once it's sold, I'd have to spend more money to retrieve it once again.

If you have the money, you'd be surprised at how many games you can own in 4 months.
To me, it isn't very much at all, but to others, it may be. To each their own opinion.
