Thats not entirely true. PC Game sales aren't down [u]almost exclusively[u] because of poor games and/or competition from consoles no matter how much you kick and scream it is.

I know lots of people personally who prior to bittorrent, dc++, megauploads, etc were buying their games, and now don't, because they don't have to and it gives them more cash to spend on other interests and activities.

Not everyone is like this of course. Some still buy all their games, while others are somewhere in the middle, both buy and downloading games.

However, the amount of money lost on potential sales isn't nearly what the publishers want you to believe.

I'm not stating my opinion or stance on the matter. I'm just telling it like it is, unlike some people on this forum who are blatantly on 1 side or the other.
