This is enough proof to show that piracy IS hurting PC game sales a lot:

-Super Street Fighter 4 Canceled on PC due to Piracy (and now Capcom is giving a second chance)

I can give you MUCH more, but I won't spend more of my time in this thread (but yes, I am happy to see that SSFIV:AE is coming for PC, so I will be able to play it with some friends). We all know it's a fact that piracy is a  big (really big) problem in the PC gaming industry, so there is no need to argue against facts.

Did you even read the posts in the thread? The exact same crap was linked, and the response is the same this time. ALl this shows is that even developers don't know shit about the effects of piracy, and would rather use piracy as their scapegoat instead of admitting they amde a game no one wants to buy for $60 in the first place. Kind of like the bullshit the Wii sees. As I have already said, there are multiple studies which have shown that piracy does not cause lost sales, and the biggest cause of piracy is people not seeing the value that piblishers ask of them. In other words, shitty games aren't worth $60.

Link me to a study that shows that piracy leads to lost sales.
