If they used their brains and werent so goddam cheap they could minimise the piracy by for instance producing a large detailed manual, the likes of which dissapeared since the days of Falcon 4.

How many folks bothered pirating F4 when without the manual it was practically like learning chinese?

So in effect the digitisation/dumbing down of manuals which is down to their cheapness is a major reason getting an illegal copy of a game is more viable today than it use to be.

People who might be tempted to illegally aquire a game like SH5 would be far more inclined to purchase the retail version if it came with a substantial manual.

EA and Ubisoft are just full-o-crap. I'm a free marketeer and certainly no anti-capitalist but these bastards are ruining one of the few pleasures in my life.
