And thus spoke pc games... > We know PIRATES are extremely damaging for PC Games cause they steal > PC Games and by doing that reduce the so needed income developers need > to stay in business and create more games. That's not automatically true. First you will have to prove, that every pirate would buy the game if he didn't have a chance to steal it. > But are pirates the only ones that reduce sales and reduce income of > developers? <snip> Sorry, but if you really believe it, you will have to buy EVERY GAME that exists. And every car. And every magazine. Otherwise you damage the gaming industry / car industry / the press. If your point was right, every person who doesn't own a computer would damages the gaming industry. But that's nonsense. Luckily it's NOT the job of the gamer to maximize the profit of game designers. That's the job of marketing experts. If the only way to make a profit would be to make reselling or lending out games illegal, they're doing something wrong. Flo
