Meh. Hardcore pirates don't buy games anyway. Casual piracy, if anything, can help a game's popularity by spreading the word. How many reading here pirated IV and either went on to buy a legit copy of it or V when it came out? I read an article somewhere years back that suggested for every legitimate copy of SEIV there were at least 5 pirate copies in use.

I'm pretty sure that was based on patch downloads, which is an idiotic method. By that measure, SEV isn't pirated as much, because there are less downloads of the patch..never mind the downloads are coming from the torrent, instead..
