| Dulfite said: 1) Not every Russian is going to knowingly pirate. Most gamers don't pirate because of one or more reasons: they don't know how, they don't want viruses, they are scared of legal actions, or they have moral reasons to not do so. The percentage of gamers going to pirate because Russian legalized it won't do a lot compared to point 2. *snip* |
This is about more than just games though. It's also other software, including productivity software. It's about operating systems, office software, development tools, video editing tools, and much more in addition to games. I'm not sure how big this is exactly, but games are probably among the least important products/services affected by this. They're definitely among the most familiar ones for many people, probably in Russia as well, but there are probably much more important products and services impacted by this.
