Venetica - Review @ Games32

They earn money from advertisements on websites which distrubute the games too.

Yes that too , also it is very interesting that video games "sneak" into pages for TV series & UPs

Besides in a country like china, it is much easier to buy the game for a few RMB's on the street instead of going through the trouble to download it on a slow and often blocked internet connection. The pirate market in china is enormous ( probably one of the biggest economies in the world ) that goes for everything not only games.

They even sell pirated windows CD's which most chinese people own, and even windows update etc works on them, since pirates have their own servers!

Thing is that software is way too expensive , for example in Croatia a video game costs as much as 1/4 of the average wage so Croats will pirate things no matter what , they are not the target audience ; in China and Russia wages are even lower BUT there is the potential to penetrate those markets for future use without lifting a finger or spend a penny , just *leak* a copy and wait for people to upload :)
