You're looking for the red boogeyman in the wrong place, comrade.

I made this suggestion so companies can help fight piracy and turn pirates into potential customers. In other words, make a profit?

i didn't say that you were a socialist but rather that your idea is one. it woudn't work because thieves steal because they take what they want for free. Only way to curb piracy in gaming is to create alot stronger protections into the games like if someone tried to copy it, it would permantly corrupt the game data on the disc or upload virus onto the hardware that is illegally trying to copy it. I'm just giving those as examples btw. 

No, the irony here is what you are suggesting is far more socialistic than what I said. You're trying to force the market to accept a fixed price overriding all other market forces on the basis of equality. DRM solutions can only do so much, they can become too intrusive and will always be cracked. So you need to find a fine line that won't upset the people who bought games legally.
