I don't buy that line of reasoning.
If only because that doesn't suggest that they actually would of bought it in the first place.
For example I would of never bought a wii because i thought they were stupid until I saw some info on it.
While i had another friend who thought videogames as a whole were too expensive until I sat them down at a console and got them playing.
It's just as possible someone might have never played Crysis unless they had pirated it first... infact i'd say it's more likely because not to many people go to their friends house to play on their computer (to my knowledge).
Plenty of free Online games lose HUGE numbers of people the minute they go to a pay system. I know when an old MUD i played went pay like two thirds of the players left. People who had been playing 2-3 years. I was one of them.
All that said I in know way condone piracy and think it's wrong. I just don't like bad arguements.
