Yes it is a good article. It also supports most of the assertions that I have been making right here on tessmage.com.

The main reason that piracy has gone through the roof lately is because people are good and fed up with being exploited by the PC gaming industry. Their products suck, their management sucks, their DRM scams suck... and basically, a lot of us simply don't feel like paying a single penny for the "privilege" of being exploited by greedy, amoral assholes.

So the best way to slap them back is to steal their shit. Pure and simple. And if they don't like it, then they can bloody well fuck off. Or... STOP EXPLOITING THEIR CONSUMERS. Gee, what a concept.

But try explaining that to the bottom-feeding parasites who run UbiSoft, EA and ActiVision.
