I believe the digital entertainment industry is a strong one, and piracy holds little threat to it, take the PS3 for an example, in over three years not one person has released any sort of credible hack, crack, replacement firmware, emulator or even a single playable rom.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but Sony is the future of the industry, with Nintendo following up closely, and Microsoft’s entertainment division might as well sell off there rights to the X-box to either Apple or even Dell, at least they have experience building computers that work. So what I am saying is that piracy protection will fall on the hardware manufacturer’s, but the real company’s to watch are the developer’s.

Companies like Ubisoft are making a huge profit and has only suffered a small loss of there market (due to the recession), and are firm investments for anyone.

The game industry has many ways in protecting their software – piracy although there, but not as impactable as it has been in the past.

There are many ways to protect your software now, so yes he is correct.

“The game industry is definitely the place to have your money. It is growing faster than anyone predicted and it will continue to grow through the economic downturn.”

So, piracy isn’t going to kill the industry?

As long as we remember to get our money out before piracy kills the industry, obv.
