seems pretty logical to me tbh, if the company loses revenue from sales to piracy, it would have to charge extra to remain profitable?

There's threads over in GQ about people unable to play the proper game to to securedisk saying it's a copy. Better not happen with me

To tell you the truth, I'm pretty angry about being asked for pay for the same game four times and I'm sure others feel the same. Doesn't make pirating it right though. The game's being offered for sale at a certain price and you either pay it or don't play the game.

I think SIs policy of basically ruining the game if you use a crack is the best way to fight piracy. I guess the coming weeks will show if they've got anything put in FM08 to do this as they have in FM07.

it's literally not the same game at all.

perhaps I'm alone in this regard, but I'm perfectly happy to shell out 30 bucks for an improved match engine, new data, and a handful of new features. that enough is progress to me. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Is that really 4 versions worth of progress though? Comes down to opinions, I suppose.

That's working under the very basic assumption that those who download would have bought the product anyway?

also working under the complete ignorance of the fact that prices were at similar levels before it became convenient to download games to start with?
