Piracy helps sales!

January 28th, 2006 Posted in general

That’s the biggest bullshit I’ve ever heard :D A guy in forums, the one who made Motorama has 60Gb/day of downloads from warez sites. That will surely help him!
The PC market retail sales are going down like never before. Surely the fact that any game is easily available to download from BitTorrent, will help the market to survive.
In the meanwhile consoles are going up. But don’t be fooled - the fact that is much harder to pirate a console game, doesn’t have any impact!

Yes sure! :D
