"It inconveniences a little but now they know why. And then we can get the economics back in line and maybe we can actually start offering it up at a lower price point in the future. So it will come around full circle," he said.

I keep hearing how companies are moving to console development because A) there are more sales and B) piracy is lower. If this is the case, then why do console games cost AU$10-$40 more than PC games?

On the assumption that those who are pirating do start to buy games, what incentive do the companies have to drop prices? They've already got those who weren't buying them before to start buying them at their current prices.

Just another false hope to get people to give up convenience and fair use in favour of DRM.

Excellent point. I didn't even consider that because there's no way they would ever reduce prices.

DRM sucks.
