But there might very well not be. At this point I could link to the lovely "pirate population vs. average global temperature" graph someone drew up on rpg.net -- this *might* be just as meaningless. I'm not saying there isn't a correlation, I'm just saying you have no real data to back up your claim of one. You can make pretty much any claim you want based on a bunch of data (I should know, my wife is a researches and does a lot of statistics work, and she has a lot of opinions on the subject <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ).Agreed. But just as often, if not more, they will buy.What's happening in Green Ronin's case? Unless you have some other data, I'll have to say "we don't know". You think it's piracy. I suspect it could also be a lot of other factors.Note: you could be right for all I know. I'm just very wary of guesswork like this presented as cold facts. That's *my* hot button, if there is one <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
