[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 316038, member: 12312"] Saying rugby gamers know what the stakes are and surely there won't be a high number of piraters, is not quite correct I'm sorry. Some will have a conscience and buy a copy of the game, but a large number won't. Many will think "it won't matter if only I do it", or "my one copy won't make a difference". That's how it happens. My case is proven by Rugby '08. The PS2 was the only version created on consoles, even though the game was being made in late'06 and released in mid '07, when the XBox was still viable for new release ***les. Why? The number of people pirating on the PS2 was massively lower than the Xbox at the time. The PS2 slim was harder to mod at the time as the circuit board was much more delicate. The big old clunky Xbox had every man and his dog modding it because it was easier and you could replace the internal HDD with a new one relatively easily. So, the greatest version of Rugby to date (at the time), Rugby '06 on Xbox was also the biggest victim of piracy. Meanwhile the PC version of Rugby '08 was ridiculously pirated. Pirated beyond belief. The conscience wasn't there then, it's not there now. [/QUOTE]
