Does 1 million more or less really matter in this case? ;)

depends - does 50 million dollars sound like it really matters to anyone?

They make shitloads of profit out of it anyways. And it's not safe to say, that everyone who pirated it would have bought it if they didn't have the possibility.

 

Maybe my opinion is a little unpopular on that topic, but I really don't feel bad for that stuff - not for so big companies and games. I just think it sucks if you download smaller (independent) companies' games, or don't pay for any games at all.

Wow. So maybe we all should steal some $1 million from Bill gates because he has enough to gop around, and very few of us have the possibilty to have that sort of money.

No one HAS to have video games. It is not a necessity, its a luxary and a form of entertainment. pirating is illegal and should never be endorced, no matter if people are pirating Wii Sports or any smaller game.

You dont pirate because you can, although it helps :) But you do it because you dont feel like spending money on shitty games. But i mean, take certain MMOs and RTS like WoW and Heroes of Newerth, where you are connected via your account. Everything is measured by your account. You can't really pirate them because then the game loses its value and purpose.

But for a "meh" SP like MW2, people download it because they don't feel like spending money on a "meh" experience. Or Assassins Creed, also had a average SP that one can understand why people might want to pirate it.

But like i said previously. You can't just blame pirates, you have to look at Why they do it. Just like Movies and Music is pirated. Now theres iTunes, Spoitfy and Voddler on the way. So in this case where IW droped the bomb on PC gamers, obviously people of the PC gaming community will pirate the game before purchasing it, they've been waiting for 2 years, and a month before release they get sucker punched. If IW had released a Demo of the game, to showcase that their IWNet is a valid substitute for Dedicated servers and PB, PC gamers might have had a chance to adapt and find a way to make it work.

So sure, piracy might be a problem, but to put it all om piracy and not look to the real issue to why it exsists, is narrow minded and usually just a industry excuse to why they do certain things.

The only thing those pirates are ensuring is that PC will get less and less support and at some point games will only get console releases...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
