Re: Discussion - why I think hentai games often get pirated and potential solution
When dealing with piracy, you also need to take into consideration 2 Things:
Proof of loss of sale.
Some people just don't want to spend a penny. They will not buy it anyways. Some what to test it out first, to see if they actually get their Moneys worth. They may buy the game if they deem it worthy.
Anti-piracy measures:
While for most pirates, this will be a roadbump, to a minor issue, for the legit buying people, it can be outright gamebreaking. (Always online DRM a prime example). While everyone wants to protect their game somewhat, you can drive away customers, with a too rigid/troublesome approach. And may lose more Money this way, than to piracy.
