I think you're only looking at this from one side, yours. Your not looking at it from the game and console makers point of view. It does not matter if pirates gave them away for free, the company lost money by the person giving away for free what would normally be paid for.
How would you like to work on a project for a few years in the hopes that your talent and hard work would be rewarded by people buying and enjoying your product only to find out that there is someone out there taking money out of your pocket and robbing you of what you deserve by giving away your stuff for free? You probably wouldn't enjoy that very much.
Not really. The PS2, for instance, never came officially to Brazil. The GC 'supposedly' was, like the Wii, but the prices are still high and games are quite rare. If they didn't even bother to release them here...serves 'em right, imo.
I just rememberd when I visited Microsoft's brazilian section about the 360. Assassin's Creed and Halo 3 are still listed as 'TBA'. |D

You can't speak that way until you step into his shoes.
And i guess you can look at it any way you like while finding a way to controverse as to why i am horribly wrong.
This is a hard task.
It's actually an easy task, he is stealing. Do you approve of pirating copies of games and using them with Dolphin?
