Game Developer asks Publicly "Why do You Pirate Games?"

Talking To 'Pirates'

Interesting to see a game developer ask people this question. I see that he listened to what everyone had to say and has acted reasonably on it, you can't say he hasn't tried. About the cost of the games, personally I don't see his games as being expensive yet he is going to reduce them. I wish him the best of luck and hope his sales pick up...

when i read all this crap about pc die it makes me laugh.

ps3 dies due has too big competition from x360.

its new and different hardware.

x360 has 3 cores with 2 threads pere core

ps3 has 7 cores where one is with 2 threads and rest of six are like gpu specialized.

and game developers are too lame to use it.

with ps2 they had to do it, now they prefer pc and x360.

back to piracy. recently capcom cries that pc dmc4 is so pirated and sells very badly.

first i would like to ask capcom why they dont rls games for pc with consoles. due i prefer better models,textures on pc due it can handle it.

not like consoles that have 256mb of ram not 2gb, that have 4mb on gpu not 1gb,that have slow dvd with 150ms axx time not fast hdd.

i have pc and x360 i wanted so much to play dmc4 so i bought it for x360. due pc version comes 6 months later(announced a lot later). now capcom thinks everybody with x360 and pc will buy pc version?

you want sales rls games at same time for pc. and better quality than consoles. not ps2 crap conversions like ironman or hulk by sega.

next i agree with those question use online services liek steam, not ea or **** blizzard.

did anyone saw price for starcraft or wacraft3 online sale.

you download only iso for price of boxed edition with dvd,book and and specials.

no iso should be only price for game, due i dont get book,dvd and i dont need distributors,advertisment etc.

so instead of 50$ it should be 20$.

same crap goes with ****ty like hell EA that everything they touch turn into crap.

crysis why for U.S game is cheaper than for EU.

it was online. and they complain so many peole tried to use proxy to be U.S to buy it cheaper.

again price of game was same as boxed.

isnt that stealing?

due now i think blizzard,EA are bigger thiefs than pirates that use it for free.

I agree the price of some of the online distributed sales are ridiculous. You may as well get the nice boxed version for the same price or just a little more.

I also agree about releasing the games on different platforms at the same time. Why would anyone want to buy the game a second time when they already have it for another system - many months later...

I am going to presume when the sales of the PC version of GTA4 flop after November they will again blame it on piracy. Nothing to do with the fact GTA4 was released many months ago on the console...

...and we all already play and beat GTA 4 on console, not being able to contain ourselves enthusiasm to get hands on great game. PC GTA IV? Might as well not come.

Plus on x360 is 50x easier to pirate games.
