Perhaps one of the reasons game developers are so hot on CD-ROM technology
is it is impossible to pirate a CD-ROM - too much inforation stored there,
even for a hard drive.

IC ROMs can, and have been, pirated.  I suspect by 1995 (if the game industry
doesn't go bust again) every game on the market will use a CD-ROM - 0% loss
of sales to piracy.  Only "borrowing" can hurt sales then...
