xist said:Way to miss the point...the whole reasoning behind the argument is to compare and contrast the final cost to dev's and publishers. My point was that Wynd's remark was just off the cuff submissiveness with no thought behind it. Your totally unrelated comeback has nothing to do with my point, which was concerned with that initial stealing is similar to buying used.

C175R said:maybe.I'll think about it if its like KH, FF, Metal Gear or some good soccer game.
I'll buy some random ones too if its $1 tho.
QUOTE said:Maybe the internet companies could be levied for some of the missed revenue of downloaded games just like the companies that produce blank cd and dvds are.
In Canada there is a 'tax' on buying blank discs to compensate music and movie companies for lost revenue. I'm pretty sure there is something like that in place in the U.S. as well. Last year 30 million dollars was paid to canadian music companies because of this....
