wow, but hey world of goo had about 90% pirates on pc. no wonder developers don't want to make pc games.

You do know that PC has more games being developed on than all other platforms combined, right?

Regardless of piracy, PC is by far the most viable platform for small and indie developers, and the big developers make a killing if they play their cards right.

You mean the same big developers that get criticised over their DRM that eventually just revert back to the system that was flawed in the first place?

 

Did their DRM even work? Yeah.....

eh. It seemed like it did. But I don't know since I actually buy my games instead of pirate so there's no need for me to keep up on all the information. e.e

 

No DRM has stood for more than a week, even less than that. The worst one I remember so far is BioShock's, because it was new and all and that took 3 days.

DRM is good for nothing, the purpose was good, to reduce piracy, but guess what? the pirates bypass it, so who are the ones really affected? us, the legal customers...

^ Yes, as Vlad has proved in this very thread.

Maybe the Navy Seals need to be given permission to target pc/video game pirates.

You can play on official servers with pirated games. That's crazy.

I would of thought each game would have like... a very specific number programmed into it or some crap.

Wouldn't know since i don't pirate.

Those are cheapstakes.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

nah, they can't get into the official servers. No online play for pirates, which is pretty much the biggest reason to play the game.
