Quality and benefits for the customer is what sells products. Piracy is (an eligal) form of commercial competition. Many businesses form clubs for their customers. The various benefits for club members encourage loyalty and repeat business. The gaming sector is a perfect place for this type of marketing. The present of a small game would be a pleasant surprise in one's Email. An addition to an owned game. A convention. (Subsim type reunion on a larger scale), would do wonders to the profitability of game publishers.
