At the height of the piracy scare, a lot of game companies would assume "1 pirated copy = 1 lost sale", which is just obviously stupid. I believe the video game Spore set the record for the most pirated game ever, but that record may have been broken by now. And even then I still think the game made money. Wasn't spore heavily pirated because the drm made the game unplayable for most people? <cite>old_school228 posted [p:947821069] in Are there ...
