[INTERESTING ARTICLE; See Page 8] Discussion: Thoughts on Piracy

[Kreekakon]

I'd imagine most of the people in here are referring to the "permanent" form of piracy, in which you just pirate a game, and never buy it regardless of whether you liked it, or not.

Like I said in my previous post, as long as people have a proper mindset, piracy can help a product. Most people, especially if they're low on money, will be very careful about what they buy, and want to make sure that it isn't a bad purchase. Without piracy, all they have will be reviews, which in my opinion is no where near motivating enough to buy a product as much as personal experience.

With the existence of piracy though, people can have a first hand chance at seeing if a product is actually worth their money, which in turn would make a person buy a product when in contrast they originally wouldn't have if it wasn't worth their money.
