Lightbulb Some considerations

Hi guys, sorry for my english but I'm italian. I've been checking this forum for months before I decided to post something (how great is the power of Starforce ).
I have been playing gamez since 1992, and I see that in these years they've become a BIG BIG BUSINESS. And where's the money, there comes a trouble!
Too many gamez, too high prices, too much generous reviews (=too many "must buy" gamez) and , last but not the least, hyper-aggressive protections. The truth is, pc gaming was, it's still and it will forever be a hard matter if compared to consoles' easy-gaming. I don't think a honest-but-normal customer would spend thousands of euros (or dollars as you prefer) for the hardware and then fall into the deepest despair by seeing that some f@*#ing protections is devastating his system.This is a paradox: a guy who buys an original games have more problems than a warez kiddie.
Also, we should consider that a 6 to 18 years old guy often cannot afford a price of 50 euros for a game (while, with the same money, he can download a lot of stuff, including gamez from the net, I know this isn't the right way of thinking, but this is REALITY); so, you say gamez are not necessary to live, I agree but nothing related to entertainment is, so the common way of thinking is: if you can have them for free, why not).
In the end, I would like to remember that, even if it was possible to release a new starforce version every day, pirates would always have TONS of games to play with, choosing among old games, new-but-not-starforce-protected games and almost-new-starforce-protected-but-already-cracked games.
Cracking games is just a matter of time.
So, what are they waiting to cut the prices? By the way, isn't it primarily a problem of money?
