Funny, Valve and Blizzard have had zero problems making money off the PC, even before Steam and WoW.

Also, piracy is a scapegoat for shitty developers. Then again, I haven't even haerd them bitching about any of this until they realeased that bucket of shit they called UT3. Only THEN it was all "OMG THE PIRACY!!!11" Coincidence? I think not. Make good games or gtfo and develop console games, but don't try to blame piracy on your own inability to make a worthwhile game.

lol two out of hundreds of developers, thats nice. You forget that Valve is making console games now and that Blizzard doesn't have a care in the world because of that cash cow called WOW. And UT3 shitty lol.  I had more fun in that game than I ever had in MW. Its not Epic's fault that people would rather steal the game than pay for it.  Are you implying that if UT3 was a "good game" people wouldn't steal it?

1) Read my edit.

2) UT3 is utter shit compared to previous UT games. It was consolified to shit basically.

3) Yes, if UT3 was a good game people wouldn't pirate it, stealing != piracy. In the past several eyars wehre "most pirated game of the year" stats have been kept, I dare you to show me a Blizzard or a Valve game.

4) I clearly stated that Valve was better before Steam or their multiplat games and Blizzard was also perfectly fine before WoW. So don't even bother. Epic was perfectly fine as well on the PC until tey started to release consolified games on the PC.

All in all, the reason their games don't sell is because they decide to ruin them by putting console mechanics, which are extremely primitive, in PC games. I mean, most of those mechanics haven't been used since the 80s back when Windows wasn't dominant and not everyone had a mouse.
