quote:"That's not true at all! Because software costs nothing to replicate. If you have no intentions of buying the game. Then go out and find a pirated copy, no one has lost any potential money and you've gained a nice game." What a bunch of CRAP! Yes software costs nothing to replicate but you fail to take into account the cost of development of that software. It's mostly simple maths. If it takes 10 people who earn $60,000 a year one year to create a game, then that game cost $600,000 to develop. Add to that cost of marketing, licencing from Sony, and the actual production of the discs, and the developer has a lot of money to recoup. Now if a lot of people who normally purchase the game pirate it, the developer loses on their investment. quote:"This happens with windows 2000. Do you think most people need DATACENTER? how much does it cost again? A lot. If someone who can't afford it pirates it, M$ hasn't lost any money!" Analogy:"Do you think most peple need a HDTV? How much does one cost? If someone who can't afford one steals one is it right?" I know it's not a perfect analogy, but its pretty close to the mark. Well that's my rant over, feel free to flame me if you like.
