CD Projekt – Pirated games are not lost sales, DRM is “a lot” for legitimate users to put up with

Obviously not all of those 4.5 million pirated Witcher 2's would be translated into real sales if the game couldn't be pirated but at least few hundred thousand copies would, and those are lost sales.

I'm not saying this justifies all forms of DRM, if the DRM is real hassle, but it's fact that piracy causes loss of revenue for gaming.

I know for a fact that I myself pirate if I can, because I'd rather get a free game than have to pay for it. With PC games I'd rather spend the money I save on stronger PC hardware instead.

Also I am tired of CR Project because they have gotten this reputation of being the good guys. Not having DRM works for them but it wouldn't work for everybody. I don't like CD Project, they're full of it.

The fallacy here is you're applying the "I" to everyone.
