Yeah, I agree completely.I know countless people that pirate games now and then, but its also an active consumer of eletronic goods(In another words, they pirate now and then, but also buy games), and that usually happens when they get interested in the games they pirate, buying the sequel or ultimate edition down the road.
I mean, I used to do that too.Not much nowadays, but I used to pirate back when I had zero money, and if the game got my attention, I usually bought the next game in the franchise(Thats how I met and fell in love with the Zero Escape franchise for example).
The videogame industry is a different beast from all the other industries, and thats because of its uique appeal:interactiveness.I may never have said here out loud, but I always belived and always will that, at the very least emulation of old games(Read:at least games that are 5 to 10 years old) is benefitial to the industry.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
