*sigh* Once again: piracy does not equal lost sales. Every person that pirates did not intend to buy. The vast, vast majority of them would never spend their money on the game, for one reason or another.

Demand for a product and demand for a paid product are two very different things.


The fact that someone pirates a game means they intended to play that game, or use that product. If it's a commerical product, you buy it. If you can't buy it, you don't play it, or you wait until a special offer to play it. If I can't afford a house, I won't buy one. Doesn't mean I just go and live in any house because I wouldn't have spent my money on a house anyway...!
