It is a question that I have asked myself in several coercions I must admit that living in a third world country with salaries of 60 dollars a month, it is impossible to buy original games since a triple A launch game comes out at that price, of course when the sales come it can even cost 25 dollars but it is still a lot of money for us, of course this does not justify piracy, nor the consumption of piracy in video games, but it is definitely an important factor, I remember Dayoscrip saying that he expects more games with low resources and better paid by the companies, but I think the masses want to see how much can offer the graphics today as they help a lot to the narrative of the video game, that we can see easy expressions in the actors of the game can bring us closer to the video game as an art form.
Now then, if the video game Anela be considered an Art where is its conservation, the companies every day develop new platforms, new methods of distribution, unfortunately with that great growth comes the sierre of platforms, games as services, previous versions of the game, among others.

There are the cases of the closing of platforms like sega, Nintendo 64, Ps1, Ps2, and even the ps3 store, this type of behavioral decisions make impossible the conservation of the video game as a means of entertainment, on the other hand piracy through emulation among other strategies have allowed many games do not die at all, so you can play them as they were originally, today is very exploited the idea of taking remaster and remake to return to have a touch of nostalgia added to our lives.
This post is not intended to justify piracy but I am definitely one of those who believe that legal video games and piracy can coexist without problem, look at the case of GTA V is one of the best selling games in history ported to many consoles, still having a large audience that plays it, it was profitable in its first week of release, which tells us that well developed video games encourage the buyer to have the original version of the game, plus the online content is unique to the original games.
I believe that piracy allows access to games that otherwise would be impossible, companies spend a lot of budget to prevent piracy of their games with intrusive programs like DENUVO, it is better to invest that effort, money and time in developing games that allow players to have a decent experience.
