People will always find a way to get over or under and stick it to the man!

The Xbox live clients are no different. Bootlegging is probably as old as prostitution. Xbox began banning people who were finding ways of playing without paying. Over 1 million Xbox live customers were banned after downloading Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. The pirated version appeared before the game was even released, suggesting that gaming developer may have exhorted Microsoft to enact the bans.

What if less emphasis was placed on stopping piracy and more focus was place on marketing research and development. Why don’t people want to buy the real version of the game? Is it because the prices are too high during this time of the recession?

We live in a capitalist society, which through marketing media, and advertisement tells us we need it now!

That’s right, instant gratification is the demon we battle. Waiting for a game to be released before you play it takes too long. Especially when the advertising starts many months before the release. It’s similar to how Macy’s starts decorating for Christmas as soon as Halloween’s over. By the time the holiday or game gets here it already old and played out!
