They cost money for a reason. They are expensive to make.

Partially incorrect. I don't buy a game which is not know or popular. Piracy helps trying it out. After that it gets way popular that other people hear of it and go buy it. This is how it works, not your way. If a game sucks, it's all wasted money, and there is no difference by playing something you pay or not... don't know where you saw this, but a game is enjoyable no matter what. Blindly following a company which overprices games does not make you honesty, it makes you unable to judge.
DVDs and games
are expensive. Movies might not be much, but games certainly are. The difference between manufacturing and selling price is huge. They can give any price they want but people like you would still say 'they are expensive to make'.
