Funny thing I forgot to mention last time I stuck my head in this: while some won't buy until they pirate and some won't buy if they can pirate, I think there's a very significant group who "pirate" *because* they bought, as a means of being able to play a game without interfacing with Uplay, Origin, or Steam or so they don't need the disc. I know I did that with Oblivion,downloaded a cracked .exe so I could play without the disc. And I know a lot of people who not only do it but have been doing it for a long, long time. Just another subset of sales Piracy has no impact on. |
I actually do this for all my games.I only use Steam and GOG to buy my games, and then download the cracked version to avoid drm, that way I can keep my games forever in case the company that released the games closed their online services and I'm left with no way to validate the game I bought.
