I've seen developers spend years making a game only to have little press and no one buying or playing it.

Piracy can turn a great product that no one knows about into a success.
- cwkoss 7y agoI agree. I think the segment of people who are willing to pay full price but pirate purely for financial reasons is vanishingly small. Most pirates are trying content they would not be willing to buy, which expands the market for most content (provided that content hasn't already been carpetbombed via ads across many media channels so most people already know about it).
