Petition for dedicated servers in Modern Warfare 2 growing rapidly {Joystiq}
Oct 20th 2009 3:20AM Sure they want to prevent piracy. However, the most important thing as a company is to keep your customers happy. Yes you want to grow your customer base and you want to stop pirates, but making your existing customers angry is extremely stupid.
Ok, so maybe you'll have less people playing that didn't pay (doubtful), but you're also going to end up with less copies sold. A pirate does no actual harm to your profits. Losing your customers does. This is the same error the record industry made with DRM, and there's a reason why they no longer use it. These schemes will never stop piracy, they will only result in lower sales.
Anyways someone who pirates a MP game on the PC and continues to play it as more than a demo/woot I got a game before street date, would never have bought the game in the first place. The Xbox 360 is the best place to be a pirate. You can actually easily play official MP with a pirated copy.

First they came for the Jews

because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."
Sure this is a stupid video game, but the point still applies.

Want a 1st generation iPod? They're still available from the Apple Store {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Aug 20th 2009 12:32PM I already have two, but both their batteries are dead. They're huge compared to todays iPods, but the moving scroll wheel is so much better than the non moving ones.
