Swiss Government Finds Piracy Leads to Sales

Dutch & Swiss people are decent, ****-gathered human beings? I think not! There's a lot of Nazi-esque crap going on in those countries right now, except this time it's mostly directed at Muslims. Regardless, I do totally agree with the findings of this study.

Yeah, they've imposed limits on the building of mosques, outright banned the building of minarets, started to follow France's example of banning hijabs/burkas/etc., and there is a major resurgence of neo-Nazi groups & sympathizers (including some being elected to parliament) that are now focused on Muslims instead of Jews (though I'm sure they still don't care much for them either). I guess some people just love to rise up and discriminate against anyone they can as soon as they see an opportunity or excuse to.

People there are a tad xenophobic, however, that's one of the reasons they have managed to make their countries what they are. We could actually learn a lot from them, without going to the extremes that is, but "weeding" out the crap out of your country is not bad by any means.

Who gives a ****?

Irrelevant nonsense. Keep it to games.

Who did the study? Pirate Bay?

I think Microsoft came to the same conclusion:

Remember that piracy bill that came up in congress and the supporters of the bill was EA, Nintendo, and Sony. Who's missing from that list of supporters?

The Netherlands, the other white meat.

There are almost a dozen studies that confirm the hypothesis that piracy encourages sales. I wonder if demos make a difference, and what type of demo for that matter. Mount and Blade had a wonderful demo, and was why I bought the game.
