Interesting article....what are your thoughts?

"Piracy isn't a lost sale, he argues, but refunds are." I agree with this statement, who's to say they would have bought the game if it was pirate-proof?

My first thought was "This is an indie dev speaking", popped up the page, saw super meat boy, closed the article. Nothing more needs to be said.

Makes sense, people may buy a pirated game for the benefits the pirated copy lacks. it also isnt a lost sale. People will avoid DRM games, and if presented with the problems that sim city faced. will demand refunds. which damage sales/relations.
