Well, it's your choice, I don't give either company my money. I'd suggest switching to Linux and start pirating everything.

Pirating still shows companies that their product has demand/value

You're better off switching to Indie games only to really protest the game publishers

I mean not really. Even if they have a rough idea of how many times their game has been pirated by looking at seeder counts on torrents or whatever, theyre definitely not taking those numbers as a win and saying "look how many people didnt pay for our product, that just proves everyone really wants it". Theyre comparing sales numbers.
