I found this part interesting....
I never minded piracy. Anyone who minds about piracy is full of s#$%. Anyone who pirates your game wasn’t going to buy it anyway!
...from the guys writting the games.
I think this is some what true and I've said similar for 15 years. To assume everyone who pirates your ware, was going to be a legitimate buyer is naive.
I think a large percentage would say "I'm not paying $89 for it, I can't get it though pirate channels, so I just don't have it."
Their concerns about ditribution are valid. If the only distributors in the game are wal-mart and microsoft, then all your
programming jobs are going to india eventually I bet.
