I read stuff like this about the music industry and honestly pirating 1 or 2 songs from an artist almost always encourages people to want to buy the entire CD. Plus, if you don't buy that mainstream garbage, you are forced to hunt down and buy the music you have sought after for so long. I don't necessarily know how this would translate to in the gaming industry. But, I do know that getting a generous taste of something you may want to buy later on may indeed make you want to buy it more.
