Ehm, the main raison for the hate for pc in japan, it's because it's totally pirated. by everyone.

Some games in japan have better DRM than i know in any occidental games.

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.


Piracy is rarely a loss? Are we going from an extreme to the other? Obviously the lost sales due to piracy are much lower than the total value in dollars of the games illegally downloaded. But sure it is also way above zero. If piracy was impossible I woldn't be surprised if at least a 20% of the pirated games turned into sales.
