Piracy is theft no doubt. As a paying consumer who spends a hundred + on games a week, I could care less if people pirate because Im in the "They wouldnt have bought it anyways" crowd. I feel borrowing and renting does as much damage to the industry as piracy(obviously NOT in the PC realm). It sucks that people pirate but ever since I was 8 or so and saw my cousins box of 400 pirated Atari PC games, I knew it was part of the biz. It's just the way it is and putting an end to piracy would not result in a massive spike in the amount money made by companies are making.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
