I'm not sure japanese pirate more than EUs.

Plus piracy is rarely a loss for the publishers and most of them are fully aware of it.


I remember reading some articles who talked about how much games were pirated on pc in japan, and why some dev had to take drastic mesure/drm to even sell some units.

And it's not only for Games, i won't even talk about anime...but i can understand that at least, because anime cost A LOT in japan.


Well, consider this a "freemium" service. Adobe business model works that way, with extremely expensive software a student can only afford to pirate and in the end only a small part of the users end up paying for everyone.

Also what kind of jap games on pc requires DRM ? MMOs but they do as they would anywhere else on the globe, and other than MMOs there are almost only VNs (no DRM/light DRM) and indie games (no DRM).
