    How are you this naive? You know someone has to pay the developers a salary right? How would corporations pay them if nobody bought the game and instead pirated?

      Yeah you gotta support the corporations financially so the game can be successful and they can go on to lay off all their developers anyway.

      Remember Tango Studios?

      They pay out of initial capital investment and leveraging.

      They’re paid a salary as the game development goes on?
