Another Look At Piracy

Nope, he is saying that if less people decided to pirate the game ( for whatever reason, be it price, quality or another reason) more copies would be sold..

 

That seem to be like he's establishing a clear relation between the number of pirated copies and the number of copies sold..........

 

You're are both saying that under different conditions the number of pirated copies and the number of sold copies would evolve differently.

What if the condition was : ' it's not possible to pirate a given game. Would that condition affect the number of copies sold ? you betcha, following your reasonning.

So you are both establishing a relation between sales and piracy level that  Vlad has been hammering for months does not exist.....

That is true, but it's an effect of what I said.

Better quality/cost + convinience -> more sales -> less piracy.

What you are trying to imply i:

less piracy -> more sales.

Which is absolutely faulty.
