I find that unusual actually. I would think the effort required to find and get a 'pirate' copy would be too much for a genuine casual gamer. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't even know where to look since I've never tried to pirate anything!!
None of the casual gamers I know actually buy their games. So the point is moot, no?
Maybe he's a teen and refering to sharing games, similar to maybe anyone in there 30s to 50s might recall with records, 8 tracks and cassettes.Gallifrey said:They pirate them instead? Seems odd behaviour for casual gamers.

Speaking of casual games... I just got my first computer with Vista... Can anyone explain to me why Windows STILL ships with exactly the same bloody games (minesweeper, solitaire, etc.) that we first saw with, err..., Windows 3.11 ??? I mean, aren't there any OTHER casual games they could package?
As to the article - of course she is right. People don't read reviews for pulp fiction either. Whats much more worrisome is how few reviewers we have that do serious games justice.
That may be how it is over where you are, but I'd be surprised if any of my friends or neighbors even knows what Bittorent means. I know I had to look it up when I first saw it discussed here, because I only had a vague idea.Downloading MP3's with Bittorrent is very, very mainstream. Pirated games are available from the same sources just as easily.
