This is why casual games and MMORPGs are what is contributing to the growth of the pc market. Casual games are cheap enough for most not to worry about pirating, and cheap enough for people who don't know how to pirate and aren't into that much gaming. MMORPGs are growing because they are fun and offer a substantial monetary gain to companies when they are successful. This is due to subscriptions. Ad based pc gaming will also see a significant rise in the future.

So how do you explain the huge rise of the traditional business model on the digital distribution services that dwarf the decline of the retail sales?

 

Casual games.  As I said above.  PopCap games its ilk.
