it is true that it will be cracked. But most purchases happen when the game is first released, and a cracked version of the game will always take longer to be made because of the simple fact that someone has to grab a copy of the game and then take the long time to crack it...

In a worldwide release the game should be out in the shops (and satisfying public demand) before the game has been cracked by the hackers. Therefore it is more likely to have people buying it.

If demand is satisfied by a release of the game, people will not look for a pirated version from abroad because they do not have it yet.
