| AdventWolf said: A small minority? I don't believe so but there is no way to tell. Games like Call of Duty and the Sims were HEAVILY pirated, are you saying that the millions of people that pirated weren't going to buy it anyway? |
Yes. Once again, that is what economic theory tells us.
Economic theory states people who would of bought it but instead pirated are a very small outlier and minority because people WANT to buy stuff. People are conditioned to be capitalistic... it's basic human nature.
Given an option of paying a fair price and getting something for free... most people will choose "fair price".
