- that has nothing to do with lost sales, and

Quote:Again, you can't predict. It's all conjecture. Which is why what you're talking about is bullshit.no, as noted, I know people who went from purchasers to pirates, despite their wherewithal to make purchases.

Yes, really. As noted, I know people who went from purchaser to pirate. It really happens.

All of these people are talking shit are they then? I guess their views are ridiculous?
Quote:If people have money they will pay for a product worth paying for. If they don't have the money, then the entire notion of a 'lost sale' is fucking ridiculous. If they have the money and later find out the game is shit after pirating, resulting in them not buying it, that's still not a lost sale. That's the developers own fault for making a shit game not worth buying.There are plenty of review sites. Do your homework as you presumably would do with any purchase, and bad experiences will be infrequent.
