Console modding/PC piracy...thoughts? (no details, just debate)

I don't really want to post in this but here you go.

The people who pirate games.. will always pirate games, no matter what. Protections, no protections, reasons, no reasons, whatever.

When you put out a quality game, people buy it. The people who don't pirate, don't pirate for whatever reason. Some for morality, some for tech, some annoyances. If a game is worth the the money, people will buy it. People will also pirate it. See above.

I have to agree with Marytha on this one. Some people will pirate no matter what. I do agree that there are a lot of terrible games out there, with only a few gems worth playing. But whether or not people pirate all comes down to individual morals. I buy the real deal because:
a) I know I'm getting the proper version, and not wasting download quata on something that may not even work.
b) It makes me feel better that I have the legal version.
c) I can buy limited edition games, with bonus content and goodies.
