Supreme Cmdr Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 While the article does make sense, he is forgetting one critical issue: he seemingly underestimates the loyalty of his install base. My guess is that those already loyal to Stardock, won't pirate the game. Hence the huge sales (they are correct, according to NPD). Also, word of mouth is a powerful thing. Piracy is clear and present. Not including copy protection doesn't mean anything; other than (a) causing some minor hassles for end-users ( inviting casual pirates to actually steal the game instead of buying it. If Brad thinks that those pirates outside North America and who can't even buy the game are going to all of a sudden get religion, he's just being naive.
