I wonder if there are any moral qualms on Blue's part about advertising that ME3 is available for download like this...
You honestly think there's a pirate out there who was blissfully unaware of his own intentions to pirate this game, and had his $60 ready and waiting, but then this BluesNews post reminded him to go do so?
Yes. Someone has 60 bucks set aside ready to buy a game and they find out they can get it for free just by reading the news? Damn stright. You don't have to be 40 years old living in your mom's basement to be a pirate. Average everyday people wanting to save 60.00 that say to themselves, I've bought shitty games before this is just my way of trying before buying. Then they never end up buying. If you don't think that happens I can tell you your wrong.
Im not knocking Blues because your right it is news. But people do see that ME3 can be gotten free and they go looking for it.
Its not Blues fault. Its no worse than the news saying "coppers is at an all time high" then right after that talk about how empty houses are being stripped of copper.
