    Yes. If I don’t think it’s worth paying the price they’re asking, I will download and play it for free. It if were not available to download for free, I would simply not play it. They lose nothing either way.

    If I would have paid for it, but downloaded it for free simply because I could, you’re correct they would be losing profits. But that’s not always the case as you seem to be claiming.

      Piracy partially killed the Sega Dreamcast. People just burned the ROMs onto CD’s and didn’t buy games. Just something to consider.
