Where Politics And Video Games Collide

I'm actually on the opposite side of the fence here, when it comes to these police breaking up this piracy ring. Many people in Mexico are too poor to be able to afford the luxury of buying video games for their MSRP. That said, I don't see how the "big three" are really missing out on the profits there, because regardless you're going to see poor game sales in Mexico. Not only that, but you're also stomping the bejesus out of someone else's fun. I'm always fascinated with how damnable I find the association of video games with big business. I just think this is all the result of money grubbing, greedy suits, most of them I guarantee you probably haven't even ever picked up a video game.

So basically, I feel that the bootleggers weren't really hurting the game industry because sales aren't going to be any different in that area, and that the police, following the influence of big business, shut down a group of people who were providing a cheap form of recreation for a financially unfortunate region. I'm just a bit surprised to see so many of the same comments, cheering on the police here. I mean some of the underlying themes here are the ones responsible for passing the horrid DMCA. Think about that.
