When the industry will understand that they do have to regulate itself then the user will trust what comes out of the box. Instead of that, we have critics (online or n magazine) that acts like marketing agents.

With high prices and such poor experience, I can understand that Piracy is the fastest way to test a title. And then when your pirated copy works, why bother to buy a boxed one?

It is up to everyone to do research for himself on a game, and to decide whether or not to buy a title. Whether or not that title is 'worth' the money is actually completely irrelevant because it's highly subjective.

A game is put on a shelf, or available for download via Steam. There is a asking price. You decide whether or not the title is worth buying for the price.
If it is, you buy it. If not, you don't. It does not entitle anyone to help themselves to a pirate version simply because they feel the asking price is too high. Gaming is a luxury, not a right.
Wait for the title to drop in price or whatever. Or just don't buy it.
