I understand what you are saying about trying to solve the problem of piracy. I agree that if there are some small changes to the way things are done that could reverse or reduce the efforts and effects of piracy as well as other lifes problems. But the main thing is in capitalistic society the companies dont care if they reduce the price per unit it could reduce the piracy of items. All the company cares about is money, do I agree that money should be the driving factor, NO, but that is the simple truth.
If he is making the statement that piracy was the leading cause to the companies downfall what does he suggest we do to change it. Pointing out a flaw without some help trying to fix it is not very productive. If a company took some initiative and said hey we are getting hosed by pirates. Lets try to give them some of the things they want (no more $50 games that are worth $25). I dont know how to solve the problem mainly the reason I have not brought it up before. I am sure if a group of people sat down and worked on it they could find a way but they would need to have a reason to invest time to try to solve it.
There are lots of issues going on with the economy right now, and I just don't think putting all the blame on one aspect of PC gamers is the right way to solve this problem. It would be nice if there wasnt any piracy in gaming but I dont think that will ever changed unless we call piracy something else such as shitheading. Even than people will still try to find ways to get stuff for free, society is cheap, lazy, and doesnt care. It sucks but I dont know how we can fix it.
The main point of my arguement with this is I dont think every problem with companies can be brought completely down on one aspect. There are way to many things that influence companies success or failure and to target just one is crazy.
