| morpheusx said: Everyone always says that they will buy the game if its good because its the right thing to say. The reality is NOBODY actually buys the legit version afterwards. Why would someone purchase the game after they are done and finished with it first. People still make this claim with music that they will buy the CD if they like it afterwards. The truth is if it does happen its rare. But one of the biggest misconceptions is that if pirating didn't exist that sales would be higher. Pirating appeals to people who never planned on making the purchase to begin with. |
While I don't believe that if piracy weren't possible, everyone who pirates a game would have bought it, I do believe people pirate games because they have an interest in the game.
While they might not buy every game they have an interest in, they would buy some of them so there would be pretty nice bumps in sales.
