It's not jusbecause it's on a console, it's because it has console mechanics. The UI, the movement, the selections, the dialogs, the gameplay, the options, the moddability, etc. etc. When a game is on a console some, ad usually all, of those are dumbed down to fit the lowest common denominator, that being the console. As for Dragon Age, it was just barely dumbed down for consoles so it sold well. One last point, you cannot steal a video game unless you physically ran in the store and took the CD off the shelf. |
So, if someone were to go in and make copies of intellectual property in a corporation that is classified against the wishes of the company, and do so without paying for the research that went into developing the intellectual property, that is what? That is normally considered theft of intellectual property.
Or, let's say you provide someone the tools to dig a ditch in your house, and they do it, and you don't pay them for this effort. If that is not theft, then what is it?
Let's say also that a theater performance is being given live, and admission to the performance is charged, to cover the costs of the production. You end up sneaking in and not paying, against the wishes of the performance of the theater crew. That is what? Hey no one is harmed, right? Does not one rob the performers of their money when doing that?
All these are considered theft, or at least fraud.
