From the article...

"Not included in the October sales figures is Activision Blizzard Inc.'s "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," which went on sale Tuesday and broke entertainment records on its first day in stores. According to its publisher, it raked in an estimated $310 million in North America and the United Kingdom in 24 hours."


I will agree with you that Piracy does have 'bad' impacts within OUR Industry. A clear chatter of people say, screw paying every again. I can't deny that.

So screw those people, and market to the millions that will. That creates a problem though 'marketing those other millions' when we can't reach them.

Almost like... piracy isn't our problem, the traffic flow is.
