How can it be "costing" them money when people are PAYING for their bandwidth. Just more crap put out trying to make things look worse than they actually are. |

| CacheLogic's study....
"We made the numbers up out of our arses.... BUY OUR P2P FILTERS!!!!"
.... Two letters. A "B" and an "S". Now put them next to each other, with the B first, a period, and then the S, with a period, and you have the "validity" of their study.
Must be nice being able to make up whatever you want to try and drive sales.
Whatever! See the poster a little further down!

Sales are going up because more people are getting into the new technology's (DVD players, Computers, consoles, cd players ect..) at a rate faster then previous buyers are turning into download only pirates. Most advocates say it's ok to pirate stuff as long as we don't make a profit off of it but have you ever heard the phrase "A penny saved is a penny earned"?
There's always pirate free for all advocates that will argue this but there is no denying (if you're a clear thinker) what negative impact piracy has had on the PC gaming scene. |

Let me just say that I can't count the number of times I've played a pirated game then bought it because it didn't have a demo. If it wasn't for piracy I'd buy less games. I'm not sure how many people are like me, but I'm sure there are plenty. Before I downloaded stuff I quit buying games without demos because I was tired of getting ripped off by horrible games. |

Any game worth buying has a demo. Even if what you say is true and you actually buy MORE games because of piracy (LOL) the majority don't. |
