Sure DRM and other measures taken to prevent piracy (Starcraft II no LAN, Diablo III no local server files/ability, Crysis 2 being developed for consoles because developing for PC was not worth the perceived risk, Assassins Creed 2 requiring a constant connection) are not ideal and Notch's view of [I can't prevent piracy so I'll just offer services exclusive to those who did buy the game] is noble but can't be applied to a majority of games.
Not only is it theft, but you're also supporting criminal organisations looking to make money off someone else's work.
i agree its also the reason why prices have been jacked up so high for games considering developers need to compensate for all potential sales that might have been possible if it weren't for piracy.
Not really. Actually if you compare video game prices today to 10-15 years ago they're cheaper.
They seem cheaper but the profit margin is much higher.
