I tend to believe Joker454 from beyond3d.com when he says that hes seen data from a publisher friend about many games which failed to make money and they were critically acclaimed PC games and he talked about games which were 90% completed which were never published due to a lack of expected return unless they could also release a console version.

To be honest on the other hand publishers should stop being tardy bitches and release the data which proves the damage that they say pirates are causing. Noone takes the executives of movie/music publishers seriously because they appear to be making huge quantites of money. So yes, please publishers if you are serious about this then release some fucking data so people can actually sympathise with you for once.

Im sorry if I offended anyone with my swear words!

I think they don't have the data and just like to blame someone else as to why they aren't making money, so that if they do publish their statistics everyone will realize they just made shitty business decisions instead of other being to blame.

or more likely pirates would keep claiming as usual ' but piracy does not hurt sales ! None of those pirated copies would have been sales anyway !'

Like those 500k or so with modded 360 that just got banned of XboxLive...( I'm sorry but if you went through the trouble of modding your console you know the risks so you most likely have more than a couple pirated games and I don't really believe without access to those you woudn't have bought any game at all..)

Well hell, show me the numbers that it does and I'll shut up, until then it's like the Loch Ness monster. I'm sure you believe in that too though...

 

Last time I gave you the pirated numbers for DemiGod on the first week of the release you hardly shut up, you just made up a bunch of excuses....

Just go back to playing your pirated games and stop trolling this forum...

80% in the first weekend? I wonder how many regions the game was released for, how many of those pirates just didnt have access to a legal copy, couldn't afford 20% of their income for a game, or whether that 80% is still true. I would have assumed we would have heard from Stardock again if the piracy continued to be so bad. Strangely, we have not.

@Jereel

You didn't prvide ANY numbers, your whole"statistics" was a quote form the PR of Acivisiono talking about COD4. If that's statistics then you might as well start believeing in Big Foot too. Also again, if you don't want to go with cost, I wonder how many of those top pirating countries even had a way to get their legal games in a convenient way. If anything it's on the backs of publishers to figure out a way to give people a convenient way to get their games. Piracy is a sign of discontent, not crime, some companies manage with it just fine, most apparently cannot.
