Can you back it up though? I also don't understand your reasoning that a pirate can never be a consumer. We'd also have to assume not every pirate is the same, of course, as some buy some of their games, some pirate all their games and some pirate a fraction of their games.
poop: I agree with you, but you are wrong about one thing, pirates pirate indie games and games without DRM just as much. Look at world of Goo. 90% piracy. Way to stick it to the man, pirates!
