I usually don't chime in on these topics, but after reading his statement, i had to. Blaming things on pirates is pretty much non-sense. I've been making games for a decade now, and I've seen every single one of my products pirated. You can't stop piracy; it's just part of software dev. However, if you make a great product, it doesn't matter if it gets pirated...it'll still make profit. If piracy = death of company...then wouldn't every single software company be gone? Companies that survive are those who make great products and builds a community around them. Piracy is not part of the equation. -feng
