Let us go back to the 70's or the early 80's here in Sweden where the "live musicians union" had big protests against dance clubs without live music. They argued that every "club night" without live music meant a loss for the live scene and that live music would die out eventually and that only record companies and producers would make money "in the future". The problem with software is that it's only available in "one form", as a digital package. But as people mentioned, a way to get rid of piracy is to force the players to connect to the internet to play the game, a way that I personally hate, I hate Valve for the ugly abomination called Steam. |
Funny thing, is, if you were to own your own account go offline (with steam), let someone else go on, use hamachi
they get to play that game along with you via lan.
Just something to think about.
Also, piracy only affects those trying to make a sale.
