If you were a game developer. How would you feel if someone pirated your game? |
I'm actually studying to become a game developer, preferabbly an AI programmer. If my game gets pirated a lot then that just mean we did a shitty job, plain and simple. I'm not afraid to face the truth, but apparently many many people are (and then they get depressed and stuff themselves ful of drugs, or they use scapegoats such as piracy).
|
Hmm. Another question. Did you ever think that the companies that did "shitty jobs" need the money more than the larger studios? You don't start out big. How can a small studio grow and make better games if there first game was pirated a lot?

I res my case, you were a worthy oponent.

>.< lol that is the only game that I have really ever obtained questionably. But I don't see your point. Talk to me as if it is 1am and I am exhausted
|
My point is that that game was made by 2 people on an extremely low budget. So your money argument is pointless. Also that is the one game you SHOULD have bought. That game and Portal were the only 2 games worth buying in the last 4 years. Well and Dragon Age now.

Also, that game is copy protection FREE, as the developer himself says having those is pointless and pirating is not actually an issue, so it's an even better example.
There's plenty of hard evidence saying it doesn't hurt sales nearly as much as some people want to say it does, if at all, so the only argument seems to be "you're not entitled to have it if you don't pay, that's imoral". Wich makes no sense, you'd have to be a selfish bastard to deny someone something they really want but can't (no matter why) get the other way and won't actually hurt you in absolutelly no way.
