1. Yes
2. No
3. Old games no longer available for purchasing. Can be used as a demo before purchasing. As strange as it sounds it can be used to combat drm.
4. Wut?
5. Generally its the publisher that has the most $ to gain or lose, they also are the owners of the ips
6. I'm sure not everyone can afford games on a regular basis, even in a 1st world country.
7. Nope this is one of the most misrepresented parts of piracy. A pirated game does NOT mean a sale is lost. Its an incorrect assumption.
8. Wut?
9. Huh?
10. Who has money or time to get and play 50 games?
11. No drm, well maybe.
12. Lowering the price of games = more sales and less piracy.
13. A better system needs to be implemented and undercut the black market.
14. Well, they still make a profit off the hardware as long as they aren't selling it at a loss.
15. Movies- people like seeing them in the theaters. Books- lots of people like the physical version. Music- in the 21st century most artists make money from concerts.
16. Piracy doesn't effect me but drm sucks.
17. Testing out games b4 purchasing them. Some games, especially old ones, just aren't available.
O and piracy/used games can introduce gamers to new franchises and potential make them purchase sequels.
