Infographic: buying games vs pirating them

Back in 2010, I linked to a superb infographic showing all the ways that official DVDs were worse than their pirate equivalents (unskippable ads and FBI warnings, etc); now Dnd01 has updated the graphic with a version highlighting all the ways that the games industry has encrufted their products with DRM that make them into a worse deal than the pirated versions.


Dnd01 notes “Can’t say that I’m the best suited as I don’t have the creative ability that made the other flowchart so interesting,” but maybe someone with more design sensibility could work from this to make it clearer?
