If it helps i don't dislike the games. The only ones I played were years and years ago. They were fine. But these characters themes lately....
Well let's just say I know where vacuum cleaners draw inspiration from for the extra suck of the new models.

The thing is, about this stuff...last night GK and I were talking about how completely ridiculous their claim of losing ~$60 billion dollars a year due to piracy is. That money doesn't get lost - it just gets spent elsewhere. Someone not spending $10 on a movie ticket doesn't mean that $10 just vanishes into the ether; it means that they spent it on something else.Also, there's this. Amazing.
Adding to that i would say 4 times out of 5 at least, that money didn't exist to begin with. I would argue a good amount of the time it's being done because there is no alternative. I know most of the people I was in college with downloaded stuff because they were broke. Okay I'm from the UK, but I cannot imagine that being so different, if at all.
I highly doubt they included such things into the claim, as it would make it sound much less impressive.
