Gaming - Who hates piracy? - View Post

Well I must admit that games are excessively high priced here in France. 70€ for a game is way too much and I'll never pay that. Moreover in France, there's almost zero discount on games and second hand games are definitely overpriced (65€ for a recent second hand game ??). So I do understand why there's so much temptation for piracy. But that's not a good thing in my opinion.
For example my brother gets almost every 360 game released for free, but he actually doesn't enjoy them much and he doesn't play them much either (4010 Gamerpoints with 70+ games...).
So piracy doesn't solve anything and I actually makes me a bit sick to see people having hundreds of games they didn't pay when I honestly buy my games.

So to sum up, piracy makes pirates not enjoy games that much, and it also makes honest customers feel bad.

I wish games were priced half the price they are, so that people would actually buy more games and not just the few blockbusters, thus killing innovation and creativity.
