  • "Piracy isn't a lost sale, he argues, but refunds are." I agree with this statement, who's to say they would have bought the game if it was pirate-proof?

  • My first thought was "This is an indie dev speaking", popped up the page, saw super meat boy, closed the article. Nothing more needs to be said.

    • Makes sense, people may buy a pirated game for the benefits the pirated copy lacks. it also isnt a lost sale. People will avoid DRM games, and if presented with the problems that sim city faced. will demand refunds. which damage sales/relations.
