Well, the fact that the prices are high isn't all piracy's fault. I think that the companies also have responsibility, and they are using piracy as an excuse for what is happening. Piracy itself is the cause and the result of the high prices. The companies raised the prices, piracy grow bigger. When the prices where lower piracy wasn't so wide-spread. Now we have even our personal hucker for our games. Sites in the Internet giving cracks and other. But the companies do nothing. They just try to find them. But they are dozens! How could they stop piracy if they don't lower the prices? Now they raise them up more. When somebody pays for a game 50-60 $ (the now average, including consoles), and it offers him 10-15 hours of gaming, what should he do? He would simply go to the nearby hucker and take 2-3 more. With the 1/8 of the price. They say that the new consoles games will be more expensive. Theanti-piracy they will put will cost more than the game itself! And you are saying why the games are expensive.

Well, that's what I wanted to say. I will write more when I think about this more.
