And the point Mr. Sterling is trying to make is why I have absolutely no fucking sympathy for these companies when they cry "Piracy"
Pretty much. I remember back when Dragon Age: Origins was first released and I bumped into the dude who basically exists as a credit card slot. I obviously went "AW, HELL NAW!" and completed my playthrough on vanilla content - but I couldn't stop myself from chancing a look at a couple Torrent trackers...
There the DLC be, free and unfettered and ready to reintegrate the game it should never have left. I was tempted, I'll admit. A few days go by and I realize that honestly, all the extra Aveline content isn't worth squat.
So when I hear EA go "WHAA, PIRACY, WHAA!", I immediately think to this and think that if EA actually gave a shit, they wouldn't be caterwauling like this.

Typo there, Captcha, but it's still an apt reference.
