I doubt that every hardcore PC nerd out there pirates games just as many casual gamers not pirate games. Are you a hardcore PC nerd or a casual gamer?How was I bragging? It's just a fact. Hardcore PC nerds know where to find games illegally how to use them. Casual gamers in their 30s and 40s who play The Sims on their work laptop and buy Nancy Drew games for their kids don't. I'm against piracy and legally own every single TW title ever released, down to all of ETW's DLC. This is just a fact of the PC gaming industry these days.
Like I said, there are those that will buy games and there are those who will never buy one to begin with anyways. It doesn't take a genius to know how to pirate a game and obtain it illegally.
The actual fact with PC games is the rise of digital distribution which many companies are taking advantage of to get as many consumers as possible meaning that these numbers do not truly represent the sales figures.
Your argument is funny though.
I recall people crying and whining on twcenter about how CA had to "dumb down" their games for the casual gamers to make it open to as many as possible. Especially points about how "casual gamers" are ruining the total war games yet by your argument these "casual gamers" are the ones that help pay the bills.
It's true that the typical casual gamer is more or less some guy/girl that works for a living and plays games on a now and then basis.
