As a Canadian and a rampant Mugger/Raper of the video game industry I say they can go to H*** and pry their pirated content from my cold dead hands. I'm not paying 70$ Canadian (which is more than America, both in price and dollar for dollar) for a game I'll play maybe 20 hours. Unless there is reasonable pricing which there isn't I will download to my hearts content and I feel no guilt towards them whatsoever. Everything on my computer is freeware or 'illegal' from my OS to openoffice to my video games, excluding WoW.
These companies are making exorbitant profits and complaining about how they aren't making enough due to piracy? Doesn't that seem kinda cyclical. I would imagine one of the reasons Canada is so full of piracy is because we get reamed, video games don't have to go any farther (in many cases they ship shorter distances since Canadian cities are mostly on the border), have no extra expenses and we're charged more in a more valuable currency for something that is already over priced. Most Canadians just give them a huge middlefinger and download it illegally then smoke up and get gay married after dropping our friends off at the abortion clinic, heathens the lot of us.
