I agree that not everyone can afford a collector's edition DVD and that the entertainment companies sometimes take advantage of re-releasing old movies (Disney). But it is important to remember that when we pirate anything, we are hurting the industry that made the product. I heard in a news report that the music industry loses 12 billion dollars a year from piracy. That means that fewer artists can be signed and distributed due to less capital. They also have to be sure bets with music generic and dumbed down enough for a large demographic to enjoy (Hi Souja Boy!). When we take something for free we fail to see that were killing off the thing that we love.
Piracy is killing off the PC gaming scene, right now. It motivating long time PC developers to consoles.Soon all we'll have on the PC console is WOW and online game.
I'm not sure. My first thought was "Yes! Of course I would by a good game regardless of the source material." But now I'm not so sure. Wouldn't the source material, the brand, have an affect on my perception on the quality of the game? Would a 10 out of 10 rating really convince me that this Barbie in Paris game was worth buying? And if my perception is not affected, the game will be influenced and shaped by the franchise it is inspired by. This could be construed that, even if it is a good game, it may contain the elements of the franchise I disliked. If I happen to hate signing walruses, should I buy DDR: Walrus Idol because it is the difinitive DDR game? I'm not sure.
I would have to say Stargate Worlds, The New Blizzard MMO, and that MMO that is supposed to be made for a small community (Around 200 Memebers total)gleb2006
