If we're talking about games I remember Street Fighter 2 on the Super Nintendo. It was released in 1994 for a mere 65 Great British Pounds.

Legend Of Zelda, Ocarina of Time, a 50 quid 1998 release.

Your comment that piracy does not equal lost of revenue is absurd. Of course it does. Not to the extent that content producers claim of course but there will be a loss.

It is interesting how happy people are to accept an unsubstantiated claim when it backs up their point of view though. I see your citation for the above claim being a quote from Lord Nikon which has no citation of its' own at all, and regardless only discusses the literary environment which is a completely different issue from movies, games and music which are very easy to make perfect, digital 1 to 1 copies of, unlike a physical book.
