Now with that i can agree , sure on an individual level piracy does some harm but on a large scale that number is just minuscule as to what devs / publishers depict it to be. its so blown out of proportion and demonized to create this "piracy" entity that dooms games and developers. bad games...

that would be shocking if you didn't factor in that the game is indie sold of the guys site. a game posted on all the popular torrent sites will get millions of hits , some indie game on some website is going to get a hell of a lot less exposure. so based on that we can assume couple...

i am not assuming numbers , there are no numbers for both groups. i just lay it out like it is. just like were assuming some people would have bought a copy if the piracy option wasn't there. were also assuming that some of the pirates will buy a copy after they already pirated that game...

when i say calculations i mean the sales figures. my pirate as i stated is indeed counted as a sales figure BUT he also pirated the game beforehand meaning he is also a "lost sale" based on your rules. so how can 1 person then be both a sale figure and a lost sale figure? that's the pickle...

i made my argument about that in my original post~ yeah i admitted that i THINK there would be some who would pay for that game. but you cant count sales based on THOUGHT , the only way for you to count that as a lost sale would be if you had the knowledge that some of those people would...

assuming you keep you sexual preferences intact? nothing would change.. i like girls .. if i become a girl i still like girls.... only difference would be a minor lifestyle change.

Do i think they use sales figures? yes i do. they use the actual game sales aka people who bought retail\ digital. do i think they include theoretical sales? hell no. pirated copy's are not lost sales, case closed. you cant make business decisions from vague estimates and theoretical...

oh boy this lovely subject again.... so lets begin this with a few facts / statements .... PIRACY IS NOT STEALING ~ the act of pirating is sharing\copying software. this means there is NO value lost because nothing is missing. piracy is in fact a great self marketing tool , word of...

iam still waiting for more technologies. while this game is a fun little time waster it has little in the replay department. you can replay it as many times as you want but you cant do anything different because the technologies are all linear progression, cant do anything unique or specific...

Depends on the game itself. if the game has widely different endings and not that mass effect 3 type stuff, i tend to play the game multiple times each time aiming for a specific ending usually starting from the best to the worst. but if the game only has one real ending and other...

every thing i think of the game is covered in this thread so ill just do a quick recap for how i feel about it: - does not feel like any shooter we have around (in a bad way). games like call of duty and battlefield have a specific feel they evoke. even tho you're little in the midst of...

seriously now... there are mods that let you do every thing these DLC's offer only much more in depth and they were available months ago to boot. why on earth would any PC player pay for any of this? besides some extra quests i see no point in this... even at that there are a ton of great mods...

one of the best game ever made by man kind. its not overrated like so many think, you just think that people like it so much because of the whole package while really people love it for the story , humor , the characters , level design and art style every one who played it can easily tell you...

a lot of things are are worse than previous ME games, less squad mates , terrible side missions , lots of previously made decisions changed to fit into the me3 story like Anderson not being in the council.

after what EA and bioware marketed the game as you damn well believe people took it to the FTC, lies upon lies were thrown at consumers. as for "not telling anyone what were crying about" if you couldn't find a single post about what the movement was upset about you clearly didn't care to...
