[QUOTE="Dust2dust, post: 10543391, member: 256015"] I'm not saying the high price is a justification to pirate. A die-hard pirate will do it, whether the game sells for $10 or $100 doesn't matter. What I was implying is that the game publishers are somewhat limited for how much they can charge for a new game. Buyers don't have unlimited funds, and if the game is too expensive, they'll either wait for a discount or not buy it at all (and possibly pirate it). I'm pirating now, but in the past, I supported the game industry a lot. I started buying games in the 16-bit era, and mostly stopped around the PS3 era. I didn't calculate, but I must have spent between $15K and $25K. No joke, I remember buying Strider for the Sega Genesis for a whopping $99 back in the early 90's. And I would say over 60% were brand new. Heck, some of my purchases are still shrink-wrapped because I never found the time to play them (mostly some PS2 RPGs). And I still own them all, as I never sold the games i bought, or traded them in. Someday I should sell them, as I won't live forever. Of course, I'm not justifying my pirating now with this argument, but I've kind of done my fair share to support the industry in the past. [/QUOTE]
