I never said that game creation would stop, I was just saying what COULD and MIGHT happen. Anti-pirate measures are possible but expensive and tedious (See minecraft)

They made a minimal amount of money if you minus all the costs with the game.

I have no clue what the costs are for EVERYTHING, but I know comissioning all those drawings with publishing rights can go upwards to $15,000+ per chapter EASY, if you really look at it they made a profit but not one that you can boast.

Let me give you a economics lesson in a nutshell, mind you my last class was over 4 years ago.

The level (a) (THING) that sells determines its ranking on the ladder of classifications.

30000-50000 sales is classified as small

"They didn't miss out on (fill in amount of money they missed by pirating),"

Uhh.... Yeah they did, why buy it when you can get it on the internet for free,                   people pirate/creator loses (POTENTIAL) money.
