Default Re: Disturbing Facts

Even if you manage to count the number of times people download a game from warez sites, those may be copyright violations, but they don't equate to lost sales. Many people pirate games to check them out. Some of them probably continue to use the pirated Version and would have bought it if they couldn't pirate it, but I'd think that would be a rather small fraction compared to the number who download the pirated Version but don't get into it, and would never have bought it, or do get into it, and end up buying a legit copy.
