[QUOTE="Roope, post: 127954, member: 3563"] I honestly don't think piracy is such a big problem. People can pirate the games but that doesn't mean it is a lost sale in most cases. Today with Steam the treshold to buy a game is so low and it is so easy and convenient platform that all my friends have basically stopped game piracy. Some do download games accocinaly but they would now buy those games anyways. Morally wrong? Yes. Lost sale? No. Someone was claiming that people are cheap and want to get everything at low cost. Well abviously this is the case. Who wants to pay more when you can pay less? But you should also understand that game being on sale is two way street. Yes, you get it cheaper but the publisher also gets more sales. People buy stuff they don't actually need from all sales. It doesn't matter if it is clothes, dvds or games. If it is a good deal and person has some interest to that item there is a good chance they will buy it. This is absolutely true on Steam sales. People spent even hundreds of dollars to buy many games that they have never time to play. If those games would have been normal price they would not have bought them. I personally have about 100 games on my Steam library. Guess how many I have not even started once? The answer is 21 and to that you can add about the same number of games that I have played maybe an hour or so. Why I have this many unplayed games? Because they were on sale and I got a good deal. Who knows maybe I have time to play those at some point but if I don't then at least I supported the games that I think were good even though I never played them. Now tell me how am I cheap? I have bought about 40 games that have not given me much value at all until this point? And this is not just me. On my Steam friends list I have so many people that have at least 50 games on their library and many have 100+ and one has even more that 250(!). How do I know this? There is an Steam Badge for game collecting. They don't have time to play all of them but hey, good deals, you get a game! Then on a different subject. Mike you said that you are still supporting Steam and PC platform. Any info for the Steam Friends integration? I really think this is a must have feature for a game like this. [/QUOTE]
