That may be fine for the big corporations (Though I still don't condone it), but what about the smaller developers who need every penny to get up and running? Some of the best games in history have been from up-and-coming guys working out of a 10x10 closet with barely a cent to their name.

Some people will buy it anyways just to support the company because they like the game and then more quality games like that come out. Not like everyone of us are pirates....Right?

You are faaaaaaar more optimistic than I. I don't have any statistics to support me, but in general, it's my understanding that, out of a hypothetical 10000 players, only 100-1000 will donate money, and even less will donate on a regular basis.

And very few games have that many players, let alone dedicated fans.

PC games are a rip-off cos you can download it for free on some places same with Nintendo DS. I still buy all my 360 games from the shops (genrally try to support my local games shop as they don't make that much money).

So, because people routinely steal them and give them to other people, selling them for money is a rip-off?

I'm almost speechless.
