I was working at a major publisher last year. There was around 5-7 times more pirates than legit users for PC games. Without piracy sales of existing games would increase 50-100% at least, that would mean WAY MORE PC exclusive games (and even more sales
).
No surprises then that on NPD studies they find more core gamers on PC than consoles even in the states! (look at PC market share there!)
Anyway since I saw these stats I freaked and bought 8 PC games in as many months (4 full price and 4 budget)
