As for me, any sympathies I may have had with some software companies dies fast. It dies in several stages:
1) The "game" costs about 10,000yen (almost US$100). For that you get about 100 CGs (often less) and a bunch of not-too-great text as a story. Sometimes its OK but sometimes the CG is doujinshi (semi-amateur, costs about 2000 yen) grade - still it is 10000 yen. Remember that you can get 3D graphics, action, simulation or whatever for less than $50 in the US. If they ever export the product, in HK it'd cost about <HK$200 (very roughly 3000 yen or US$30, a more human price). But mostly they don't...
2) I bite the bullet and go find it at amazon.co.jp. The shipping fee is half the price of the software...
3) I bite that bullet too (now I'm paying $150 for 100CGs and a bunch of not great text)... something notifies me that even if I barf out that much money, I am not allowed to purchase the product because I'm overseas and they don't do exports...
4) I go to their website to purchase the product (man, those things are pure psychoaddictive) ... same thing.

Somewhere in all this, I begin smiling when I see the product being strewn around over BT...
So what your saying is if the game cannot be found on a trading site go to Bittorent and just DL it? lol. okay, well your honest, i use alot of fixes for my games so i dont have to use the cd/dvd but thats it. Most software games/programs that are cracked have some form of trogan/spyware inbedded in them. And not worth the risk.

Also anyone using the SH3 fix should delete it, my new antivirus McAfee found a trogan in it!!! No other antivirus software ive used in the past found a virus in the SH3 fix. This SH3 fix has a friggin trogan. Back to using the dvd.

EDIT: This is the trogan found in the SH3 fix "Backdoor.generic.2" usually indicative of a commercial rootkit installation, not a real trojan. Unhappily, they're often harder to get rid of than real trojan software (Thanks Sony, you incompetent bastards - can't even write spyware well). AVG (or anything else) won't remove it if it is a commercial rootkit. Yet McAfee 2007 removed it! Go McAfee!!!
