I would have to disagree with you completely Lord. Firstly you believe that I personally condone stealing a game just because I do not agree with the pricing. It also assumes that that every title released is worthy of the price tag regardless of the quality or length of the game. I am sure you personally have never infringed copyright law by either downloaded a warez copy of a title or indeed borrowing it from a friend? You also seem to be under the impression that people who use warez do not also legitimatley buy retail copies of games which is ridiculous. I am sure that developers do not hold any influance over the pricing of games and the major share of profit rests with the publishers. With games developed by bigger teams of people it is ridiculous to assume that they make as much money out of the unit sales as the publisher who invests the funds to get the project started in the first place. Publishers apart from the inital investment do not creativley contribute to the development of a game they exist in purley a distributive, marketing and PR based role. I have no problem with the developers making money but something tells me that the publisher like record companies takes the lions share.
