Isn't this why Metallica has no money? Because of Napster right? I agree piracy is bad and wrong, but blaming your woes on piracy when console games can be pirated, and or emulated with PCs almost nearly as easy I think is an invalid scape goat. I think the main problem with PC developement is developing for cross platforms and hardware and OS's whereas console has a set Hardware configuration.
So wait is ID trying to say that back in the early 90's when games were still on floppy disks that could be copied as easy as sticking it in your A: drive, or Before CD keys and creating phantom drives or No CD cracks were needed to run a pirated that pirating of games didn't kill the market then? Yet somehow now despite all the failsafes pirating is killing PC gaming now?? Gimme a break
