sarcasm is the verbal form of irony. Piracy on the 360 is not denting their sales estimates. 360 pirates with modded consoles are not part of their market. Neither are people who buy pirated games in china or w/e stereotype you want. PC piracy is very different, their core userbase is pirating instead of buying. It's not…

lol, just saw Indian_Boy's thread. Damn, if the kid is going to buy it anyway, who cares if he played the pirate copy? He claims he played a demo at some gamers conference. Whatever the case, rather than being pissed that someone (maybe) played a pirate copy, be glad they are still going to support you by buying the game.…
