A lot of Amnesia players are 17-20 and may not have jobs. Some of them just pirate the game and simply don't care and don't feel the need to justify it.

In the past when I pirated a lot more I used to just want to play the game, but my mom wouldn't let me buy it (even if I had the money). Was that an excuse to pirate it? not really, but I didn't care.

Now I don't pirate nearly as much. Part of the reason is I realize now that developers deserve to be paid for their work.

I think that by doing something like this, they might be actually hurting their sales. Consider this: many people pirate in order to try a game before buying it (I know that there is a demo for the game, but many people are afraid of the limitations that a demo might impose on them, or are just used to pirating everything). So , they encounter said "balance issue", realize that there is no way around it, decide that the game sucks, delete it and forget about it - a potential buyer lost.

That is the oldest excuse in the book "oh well I just want to try it" then they play the entire game and don't feel the need to buy it.
