Game's cost $50 because thousands of cheap bastards download warez instead of buying games. In order to make up for lost profit publishers are forced to raise the price of games.

This is the chicken or the egg argument is it? There wouldn't be a market for hax0red games if it wasn't so expensive.
Oh and btw, and back in the day of DOOM I, I don't THINK (really don't remember too well) there wasn't the technology readily available to reproduce games cheaply (Internet, CDRs, game copying), and hax0red games wasn't as rampid as today...but it still cost the full $49.99 (or some ridiculous price) to buy the damn game. I know because I bought it way back when.
