"Piracy these days on PC is probably less problematic than second-hand sales on the Xbox," says lead Fable III combat designer Mike West. "I've been working on PC games for many years and piracy is always a problem. There are a lot of honest people out there as well, and if they like your game they'll buy it." Thanks joao.

And how is this different from buying a used "anything". Automobile manufacturers don't see a penny from second hand car sales. So the argument becomes that a used-car isn't worth what it was brand-new. The same thing could be argued about a used video game. Not because of the experience, but because of the fact that the older the game gets the less desireable the game is. Does anybody here want to pay $50 for a game thats ten years old? Not me. So, if I wait until ten years from now to buy Starcraft 2 am I engaging in software piracy? I have to side with the people calling it like it is. Software developers being whiny little bitches who don't want to accept reality as it is. Stop whining, things are what they are. I could open up a whole new debate on whether it is even ethical to charge $60 to a million different people, a million different times for a product you only, theoretically ever produced, just once. Of course, in a capitalist system, this is perfectly legal. Just as second hand sales should be. Not buying a game in the first place also has the same effect on a developer as pirating the game. So I guess all the games I want but never purchase makes me a pirate. My soul is damned to hell. Second hand games sales are equivalent to piracy? LOL. Please put down the crack pipe.
