Piracy is a net loss for a video game company.
However, piracy will not be the reason a game/company fails.

Piracy has caused some hardware manufacturers to do absolutely retarded stuff to avoid it, resulting in failures. Look at the Gamecube and Vita.
Joseph Morales
what did the vita do. i only know one guy who owns it so i have no actual knowledge on the system
Parker Adams
Because the PSP was very heavily pirated, Sony used really expensive proprietary memory cards for the Vita to cut down on piracy. It ended up making the system prohibitively expensive and nobody bought it.
Parker Nguyen
The Vita was just fucking hard to hack. They did nothing in terms of hardware to lower piracy. It was all solidly coded software.

ah i remember my friend bitching about the prices and he was a buy fag

>Net loss
How? It's not like they lose some of a limited supply of games. According to you, pirating a game is somehow worse than not playing the game at all, how is that?
Brandon Kelly
The PSP also used brand-only memory cards you retard
John Johnson
In the beginning, sure, but it's been pretty easy to do for a long time, had mine hacked for like 3 years now
