shio -> "G. I can also pirate PC games and I don't waste a cent, since we're not caring about supporting developers. I atleast buy them cheap new copies: $5 for Bioshock, $5 for all 3 Penumbra games, $5 World of Goo, $7.50 both Max Payne games, $1 Half-Life, etc..."
I know you,shio...I really do...the Pc pirates are protecting the Pc because it`s the only source of game piracy. Without it,they will have to buy the games and support the developers or worse...rent the console games day 1...It clearly means they can`t afford it,that they are poor,that they pay for a game instead of downloading it and saying they gor it off Steam.
I left Pc gaming because I was tired of upgrading my Pc,framerade dips,errors and a small screen. Even if i rent some console games,i do it day 1 so the developers get something,because the renting stores have to buy them and then rent them,so trust me,renting day 1 is a good thing.
Why is there no renting market for Pc? renting games? because of torrent sites and piracy that will never go away,it will only get worse.
I was tired to be treated as a thief and wanted a different experience,so I bought a cheap 360. I played Mass Effect and Assassins Creed again on the 360 and what a difference. You should try it and not consider the console player as a "dirty and peasant".
If we are inferior to Pc,then how come you don`t play Gears 2,Fable 2,Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2,Lost Oddysey,Condemned 2,God of War,Uncharted,Killzone,Final Fantasy 13,Dante`s Inferno,Castlevania 2009,Bayonetta,Forza 3,Halo 3 and who knows how many more games in the console`s life span.
You can keep WoW,Diablo and Starcraft as exclusive Pc games,because Crysis,Half Life and many more got 360/ps3 ports because they sell.
And no,I can`t say you are a thief,but how much do you think developers get from a 5$ Bioshock? 1$ Half Life? Nothing,beleave me...only increased numbers of Pc game sales to a market that will be in a coma in a few years.
Or do you think that in this crysis when people have less money and Pc piracy is very easy...they will not download a game? Don`t hold your breath.
