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...

Show me a link that shows that piracy means that sales were lost.

What do you think the publishers and developers are trying to say? Are you seriously under the illusion games freely and easily distributed on the web has no impact on sales? Crysis 2 and Bulletstorm were on the web before they were even released. You don't think people decided to save money and go that route instead?

Music and DVDs don't sell like they used too thanks to piracy. I'm a computer technician and any technician will tell you they see unsavvy computer users stealing music, movies, programs, etc. A lot of them don't even realize they are doing something illegal. Yet you genuinely don't believe that same trend is not affecting PC games either?
