How Much Will Game Theft Harm Microsoft's Xbox 360?

Well, for sure there is mismanagement at EA but having worked for a small company that did game porting and some new development I can tell you that it's insanely expensive work. You need a crew or talented artists, programmers and testers. You need limited but effective managment. We're talking about staggering capital burn rates before you ever make a dime or even make the pitch! Then if you do manage to hit the home run you get ripped off by pirates.
