Here's your big oversight: if you're that impoverished, why the hell are you spending your "discretionary time" on something as frivolous as gaming in the first place. More importantly, why are you spending your hard earned money on such frivolity? If it were such an issue, I would think eating better or maybe taking up a sporting activity for heath (since the impoverished generally don't have the time or money for gym memberships) or working more hours if work is available, would be a better option.
One would think that the essentials of life would take priority, but... maybe that's just me and maybe all the game companies need to look out for those who really can't afford to game, either from a monetary, time (or both) perspective.
The way the world really works is this: if you can't afford to do or buy something, you don't do it or buy it. And that's the unvarnished truth. You want to do it on someone else's dime (ie credit), again, why would you be doing this on frivolous activities if you're hungry or cold, or both?

Are you serious? The point here is not about how or why people pirate. But how theyr dealing with the issue.. Instead of understanding the reasons behind piracy- companies come up with these draconian measures that will ultimately hurt their own product- and the consumers too. A lot of legit buyers are going to be pissed if they cant really play their game coz theyr not connected to the internet. Thats the point.
As far as your dumb take on 'credit' goes.. Japan and the United states are in trillions of dollars of credit. I guess citizens of both nations should just dump their consoles and plough fields like developing nations do...
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
