yeah, it doesn't mean that those would have been sales, but games could sell some more.... on the other hand, maybe those download act as promotion in some cases, more people get to know the game |
That's exactly what I'm saying. I bought the game after having played the copy I downloaded. I'm not really a HotD fan, and would most likely ever have bought it if I hadn't played the free copy first. Turned out I loved it, so I bought it when I found a copy. Of course not all people do like that, but in the end, including all the people who simply can't afford gaming prices, which wouldn't even be able to buy them if they wanted(which is the vasy majority of pirating), it all evens out quite well, I think. Certainly a lot more some people would have you believe.
