2 - Is this even up for debate?
The answer is obvious. The price of games are too high for what you pay for. I'm not gonna pay $60 for a game that'll last like 5-6 hours at most with finicky multiplayer tacked on. If games cost like $20-$30, I'd have no problem paying for something like that. $50 was a sweet spot, but paying $60 per game is just asking to get pirated. Instead of blaming the problem on the people, try shifting the blame on the developers who don't strive to make the $60 worth our time and money. Or are they defending shovelware as well?
