| AdventWolf said: Kirameo - You don't have $20 for 30+ good PSP titles? Kas - No, because $200 is too expensive, $20 is not. World of Goo isn't major target of piracy in my mind. Vlad - So, if you have less money then it's ok to pirate. Got ya. Guys I understand that some people pirate because they may not have the money, but that doesn't make it right. If someone would walk up to me and say they pirate I would say "OK". Now if they said it is justified because they "wouldn't buy it anyway" then that is another story. I know tons of people that pirate because they simply can, if it wasn't possible then they would have bought the games. The PSP would have much greater software sales if piracy wasn't so bad on it. It is a prime example. Sure, it would not have as many hardware sales but there would be much bigger software sales. There are many many affordable PSP games at $20 a pop. If they can afford a $170 PSP then I don't see why they can't afford a $20 game. Imo it's just because they can. |
That's actually what makes the story mean more Wolf. At 20 dollars, world of Goo can't get much cheaper.
Which means that the number of people who pirate it soley because they are cheap is HIGHER.
Not having money =/= not buying it anwyay in most cases. As in the $200 dollar post above. It's a basic "What is it worth to you" system.
It's not that people can't afford a $20 PSP game. It's that a PSP is not worth 20 dollars to said person.
Why people buy a PSP who only pirate... is because they can pirate. Just how you wouldn't buy a PS3 if the games were $200.
If piracy didn't exist... these people STILL wouldn't buy PSP games. All that would happen is... they would also never buy PSPs.
Just how you would never buy a PS3 if the games were $200. Value is relative.
