You take out a $500,000 loan to make 'the perfect game' - you hire a team of veteran developers, get a big name publisher to put up the rest of the dosh to get through development, put out an epic marketing campaign, etc. Countless magazines and websites are hyped as FUCK for your game.
Release day. You sell 10,000 copies, $60 each. Lets say that you get lucky and make $60,000 from your game AFTER the publisher, distributor and stores take their cut. Game magazines label it as one of the greatest flop of all time despite being a lock for GOTY.
You look up online to see why you so miserably failed. For every copy of your game you sold, 100 more copies were illegally downloaded.
im not sure how id react, id be pretty upset though. such a scenario is one excuse i use to not develop video games and just complain all the time on Holla Forums. though, i dont really see myself taking out such a huge loan.

who gives a shit, you went in looking for money and you got it. If you wanted a better game, you should have changed your goals.

$60,000 < $500,000

Loaded question. Go fuck yourself.

sell your faggot shit for a reasonable price and maybe everyone and their mother won't feel justified in pirating the overpriced wank.
