Piracy is an matter that makes the big companies in the world of video games shake in their socks. But the question is: Do we have much of a choice?
In countries where the government charges cruel taxes for original games and consoles, what would you do? Appeal to piracy of course! Go to a Alternative Store and buy a burned copy or a HDD with Several Games!
In Brazil for example, there are cities like mine that doesn't even sell Original Games because NO ONE wants to pay 250R$ (Or 185U$/125EUR$)... That's just unfair! It's like 80% of Taxes for a Single Game!
One of the motives that make people buy Pirated Games is the Low Price (They say it destroys your console, but that's a lie)... A XBOX360 Pirated Game is like 7R$ (Or 4U$/3EUR$) and a Wii Game is 4R$ (Or 2U$/1,50EUR$), that's really cheap, don't you think? PS3 Games are sold in External HDDs in Several Sizes... A 2TB HDD with nearly 220 Full Games is worth 600R$ (Or 369U$/259EUR$)!
To effectively combat Piracy, Gaming Companies need to mobilize and do something! Open a Factory in Brazil, China, Paraguay etc... The Government of such countries don't even do anything about it... Either way their pockets will be full of Money, Dirty or Not...
In my Opinion, Gaming Piracy will exist forever... But if the companies develop some kind of system that connects with a satellite and allows you to play all the games from a remote server just for a monthly tax, that would be a fatal blow in the flag and heart of the Piracy. DON'T STEAL MY IDEA, COMPANIES!
So, what's your opinion about piracy?
