Vyrulisse 10/26/20 11:18:24 PM #7:	SaccharineSmile posted... To stop the PC pirates Ignorant post. Piracy has almost zero effect on the bottom line and in some cases is a boon to games. A lot of people try them out with nefarious means then actually buy them if it's good. Something demos could stave off much better but for some reason demos aren't really a thing anymore. Anyway, it's always online because publishers want to control every aspect of a game even after you buy it. --- https://imgur.com/6VeX04D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk9mMbOpAaA <cite>Vyrulisse posted [p:946348133] in why do gam...
