The best business to be in must be the "We sell virtual items" business.
Unlimited supply, charging it full-price even though its not a physical item.
You know a lot of people expected prices to be lowered once we transitioned into the digital space for selling video games, but they actually maintained it to be about the same. Just think of the profit margins. Crazy profits.

Haha, I do try to avoid piracy, and I pay when prices are fair, even though I'm fairly sure the developers themselves only see a small fraction of the money.
Trading with others that can buy legitimately for less money is a gray area I guess but it is sure nice to know it can be an option to piracy, if not for all the titles out there, then at least some that aren't region locked.

well if it helps, try to realise that game publishers do their best to screw us over as customers, thats their business, so i dont see any grey area to trying to use the market to get the best and fairest price i can.

Its a tough world for both devs and the consumer. We both get bent for the publisher.
The way we find a loophole with trading and piracy, devs need to make their own loopholes.
Pirate bay founders are in Jail because of publisher greed. These same publishers would rather see us in an informational dark age, than lower their prices, so yeah, i have no remorse for buying cheap russian copies and pirating when they expect 60 euros for a game and lock it like fort knox.

The crazy thing about it, is that digital sales go waaay lower than physical sales ever did meaning people just hold off paying full price anyway. In the end, a game that costs €50 which we'd gladly pay €25 for, we buy for €5 at a summer/winter/spring/whatever sale.

Only thing I've been experiencing is the client freezes at times. Running beta version tho. |
