Hi Rob, Again this depends on perspective. If it is only a few cracking games most developers can live with that. If it is lots of them then it becomes financially ruinousness to a small company such as ours. Let's say that a company has 1000 blind customers. Ok, 25 crackers isn't to bad. However, that 25 bring over 250 paying customers to the dark side. At $30 per unit times 250 paying customers the company is now losing $7500 which could have went into computer equipment, sound effects, and may actually begin to hurt the companies ability to produce better games. That doesn't even include the $750 lost by the 25 original crackers. The total loss is actually $3250. Now, I don't know about anyone else but I could do allot with $3250 including pay my car payment, buy a new computer, purchase software upgrades, etc.
