So instead you steal them because to you they aren't worth the cost. Brilliant.
Crysis has a development budget of about $20 million

If I made games I'd be sure to do console games as they are harder to pirate. You are willing to pay for only the very best of gaming, Orange box, and gal civ II (the best 4X game) and the rest, just download.
Yes, you are part of the problem.
I think the savior of PC gaming may be online verification/protection much like Steam uses. Its a pain, it would suck always needing to be connected to the internet to use games, but it may be the only way to make the insane development costs worth it.
Unrelated scary side note, the thought of EA buying Crytek is awful, EA has become the destroyer of games.
