Something that isn't worth your money =/= something that isn't worth your time. I'm not aware of any credible ones that suggest an actual profit loss of greater than 0.3% (without accounting for the pirates who become fans of the series and/or tell their friends about it and convince other people to buy the game btw.) Because Pirates tend to buy more games than anyone else, it's safe to assume if they couldn't pirate things they'd just ignore them, they *already* spend a lot of money on games and have no actual need to pirate. Pirates (especially in wealthier nations) buy several times more games than the average consumer. You assume that because someone pirates *some* games they pirate *all* games rather than pay for them. There are a number of flaws in your reasoning. Don't just download it because you still want to consume the media.which you apparently don't find worthwhile enough to pay for, but find enough there to waste your time on it. If you don't find it worth it, don't pay. Why are so many people willing to justify theft? If you don't have the money, don't play. It may not be as much as the publishers say, but it is something. That means that it does affect the bottom line. While not everyone who pirates would buy the game if they didn't pirate, it's absolutely stupid to assume that everyone who pirates would not buy games if they couldn't pirate. But I see why too much pride from some pirates who boast about it as if they are somehow justified for theft. Pirates are diverse in their reasons for pirating. Those are their only choices if they couldn't pirate a game. Maybe not all, or maybe not the ones that they pirate, but they would buy software or quit gaming, or stick to F2P. It's reasonable to assume that pirates would indeed buy games if they couldn't pirate them. Rainslacker 1329d ago (Edited 1329d ago )
