Stop ripping consumers off (Score 1)

Stopp ripping consumers off. The main reason why people pirate games is that simply (like ink cartridges), they are a rip off. You sell a product to a crowd with little money (teenagers) and expect them to cough up $50 for every game - come on, that's horse crap. The profit margins for game developers are ludicriuos. Doesn't matter on the platform - people are tired of paying $50 for a game, when half the time they only get a few hours of enjoyment out of it. Heem, lety's see - Store cost at CompUSA for Halo is $45, MSRP is $50. Who's making the cash? Manufacturing costs (I'm not counting development costs) are less than $1 for most games. I've only purchased a FEW games that have been worth the money (like FFX or Metal Gear Solid 2) - most are not. If you want to sell allot of games and keep profits up, LOWER YOUR MSRP on games! $29 is a fair price for a great game and $20 is good for an average game. Until game prices go down, I will continue to copy PS2 games and use them with my PS2 mod chip. Crash Bandicoot for PS2 sucks majorally with 5 minute load times, and they expect $50 for this game? Give me a break....
