News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Why bother? Those who "pirate" will never convert to paid customers so why not let kids from some landlocked African country or rural India enjoy games?

A) a lot of people who do pirate in console are current customers. They spend quite a bit of money to get access to "every game ever" and stop buying new games. B) a lot of other ones hack the console in order to play hacked copies of the game in multiplayer, which ruins the experience for paying customers.

That's not true. Many people won’t pay for something if they can get it for free reasonably easy.
