Why are so many American games so up in arms against piracy?

Just like it's not a god-given rights that all participants in an industry remain healthy and profitable. If developers learned how to please the right gamers this wouldn't be an issue. Sell better software or sell it at a better price. As long as game developers chose to spend tons of money on games that only interest niche crowds they deserve what they get. Shitty business models cause tons of failures in tons of industries i don't see why this is any different.

 

You are correct that businesses which don't cater to their customers will suffer the natural consequences brought about by market economics, but that doesn't give people a right to steal from companies.  Two different issues here.

Same issue.  I'm paying sixty dollars a game because they wanna recoop "losses" by charging more per game sold.  Piracy is a known entity already figured into this price. Developers simply need to learn to stop pleasing themselves with thier game ideas and development processes and please the people willing to purchase them as Nintendo has proven there are plenty of.
