| Amiga Inc Closes Down Another Pirate BBS : Comment 12 of 48 | ANN.lu |

re : console market
Actually I know a great many people who bought a PSX instead of an N64 purely because they could copy cds but not cartridges. Am I saying we should be lenient on piracy in the interests of attracting thieves? No. But if you don't acknowledge the reality of the matter (and that is : how *people* think), then you're not going to be able to make rational decisions. As a software developer, you are completely opposed to piracy. Of course, I agree with your standpoint 100%. On the other hand, a userbase of pirates is better than no userbase at all, isn't it? Even pirates are _potential_ purchasers of your software. Don't forget, just because someone copies one game/app doesn't mean they won't buy another.
Anyway, enough said |
