Forbes' Erik Kain is suggesting, in no uncertain terms, that if a currently in-print, legally published video game isn't worth its $60 price tag, you should probably just download it illegally instead. Which is a bravely pro-consumer stance to take, and one I certainly don't disagree with - I just can't believe it was one Forbes' Erik Kain thought about for longer than it took him to hit publish on his latest sneering dismissal of something he honestly doesn't understand. I guess we'll see if he sticks by his guns the next time Activision or Ubisoft release a sub-par offering at full retail price (PSH as if that's ever going to happen), or if he only advocates this "try-instead-of-buy" policy for products from powerless, small-time publishers like Super Fight Team.
