What are you talking about? People who know pirates know that they are causing increasing influence for more pirates to be created in the PC and console world. I have to even admit at one time after seeing a friends pirated collection from having a modded system, I wanted to do the same. I knew it was wrong though and bought the games either new or used. It is as simple as that. Lets just say a pirate influenced someone who was willing to pay full price. That person is purchasing out of a minority of people when the pirating population is only growing.
