Piracy crosses many platforms...

And none other like PC.

Its a huge reason a lot of games skip the PC.


Show me statistics that show that piracy = lost sales. Otherwise stop talking out of your ass and about things you don't know shit about.

I don't have statistics because digital sales aren't released. I do have these though...

Reading through all of the links you provided it is just the same as you. A whole lot of people talking out of their asses without jack shit to back them up. The best argument you can find is the one talking about China, but the developer there actually says that he aims to compete with Microsoft. Basically, he is a fucking idiot.

Show me a link that shows that piracy means that sales were lost. Nothing you have provided shows me anything about piracy. All you have shown me is that even developers don't know shit about the actual numbers.
