Same concept, no matter what we say, they won't stop.

btw.. nice lady gaga avatar, dance in the dark is a great song

yup, i 100% agree! but there are other ways that Artists make there money now and that Touring. They have found a great way to make this money back up.

in Video Games what other way will they make money of everyone downloads it? 

There are quite a few. 

In-game advertisements for third parties, free games with optional microtransactions for cheap PC gamers, selling peripherals and consoles for profit for first parties, etc. 

 

In the Information Age, people are used to being able to copy anything. Copyright starts to lose its meaning. Our avatars are copyrighted, the youtube videos we watch are copyrighted, the quotations we use are copyrighted, and the screenshots we make are copyrighted.

But why does it matter? In the past, when copying was a big industry, it was very important to have the exclusive right to make copies. But why now? Companies might keep their IPs, and make money from them in other ways, but in the age of ctrl+c and ctrl+v , asking money for COPIES of digital content is becoming meaningless.
