Except... your studies... weren't studies.  They were paid reports which never saw publication and whose data is locked up, with just the few things stated being what copaneis want you to hear.

Also, they were't about "comics" so you wren't reading too well.

None of your comments are "proof of piracy" they are... your comments... ill informed comments according to consensus.

Developers closing down had NOTHING to do with piracy.  I don't know if you've noticed, but largely the reason developers have closed down this gen have been skyrocketing costs to MAKE games.

The data i have been giving you is part from the group you call lobbiest and the others are quotes from the developers or publishers of the games...

All i could make out of the pictures was anime i originally said dvds but the other kid said comics so i went with him. Anyway it really doesnt mean much its still all based around 1 thing with is ancdotal...so it means nothing its not even a source..

Again my comments are quotes from developers or the "lobbiests".. the one ishoot ssthing was me paraphrasing what they said. Yours are all your opinions or perceptions of things which mean nothing like i said without a source. And i gave you a link to the titan quest developer and they literally said piracy was why they closed down, there was other factors they mentioned too but piracy was the main reason. So again you are incorrect.

A)It's not really data.  Because they don't let you see all their results.  Lots of these reports if you press the researchers, actually contradict the offical public statement

B)Also, uh, it wasn't anectdotal... they colected actual data.  Your Titan's quest and developers say piracy hurting them comments though... actually anecdotal.

C)  Saying piracy shut you down doesn't mean that's what shut them down.  Saying "Piracy" sounds a lot better then "incompetance handling money" "making games people didn't want to buy" and other reasons.

I mean, your taking an angry internet rant as proof.  Not even data.  But an angry internet rant.  He also blames "People not defragging their harddrive" for why they went out of buisness.  Seriously?

 

Edit: Also, if you go to the source.  He says that's not even the reason it closed down, but a tangental reason... even though you know,  it's just him being angry without any facts... claiming for some reason hat is something outsells somethin on consoles insetad of PC that means piracy... and piracy where people would of bought it.

Guess that explains why PS3 games used to sell so bad compaired to 360 games.

Funny how PS3 actually has a higher attach rate in Europe for example where piracy is more predominant..
