    Because people arent really " just trying out the game" to buy it later.

    Because all that stuff is based on opinion some people might like the game and give it a good review
    I think I looked up a review for this racing game I have on my PC its United Nations I think it had a good review but I absolutely hate the game plus the demo made it seem fun too
    That was $40 wasted
    Although I have been cutting back on gaming since I got into college I've only been playing CS:S and GMod

If you download Counter-Strike off the internet you still need an account to play on the actual servers. Even with Xbox360 you can become banned for playing burned games on a disc. I don't think warez and stuff like that have risen the costs, just the amount of production needed to be put into games. Call of Duty took a lot more to fund than say PacMan. In order to earn profits they need to raise prices.
    Your argument is only valid for games with multiplayer.

    Also, there are some games that you can pirate where you can still get on at least some legit multiplayer servers, I know CS is one of them and people have found workarounds for the COD series and FEAR3 also.

    Actually what he said is mostly true, because he is talking about most games on the newest generation consoles.

    And nearly every new popular game has multiplayer, so you are basically excluding a mere 2-7% of the new games; the newest products are usually the only ones that get pirated.
