Doesn't have to be that extreme. A citation + cost of pirated software sounds more reasonable.

By the way, I'm still looking for a plumber to install a sink in my home. When are you getting here?

Same thing though.... the costs of figouring out who pirates and the legal costs of fileing all these suits would cost more than they make selling the games.
Thats why these anti pirate groups, dispite sueing people for millions (when they occasionally do so) all opperate at a loss.

Scale that up, to go after everyone? it would probably cost more than the gameing industry makes all together.
So why even bother? right now, its just a scare tactic, they throw money out the window to catch a few, in hopes of scareing the many.

Its not something thats posible on a bigger scale (its not economically feasible).

You make a valid point that going after pirates might not be cost effective.

Why wait? Why isn't piracy a bad thing?

Just to give you a fast and small answer, being introduced to long standing franchises by playing their old games.I know I have been introduced to many suchg franchises through emulation of old consoles, or even somewhat new consoles, which DS was back in the day.And given this exposure, go on to actually buy a new entry when it is released, due to a number of reasonsw.In my case, due to actually having money to buy games.

Anyways, Ill make a thread about it one of these days.

I'll still argue piracy is overall a bad thing since it allows new game's sales to be undermined. Introducing old games to new gamers is perfectly doable via let's plays and such.
