I won't ignore your post. You have an argument, huh? That's ok, I will read this entire link, but nobody knows more about Capcom's busines than Capcom, just like nobody knows more about Crytek's busines than Crytek. If Capcom says that they have a problem with piracy on PC, then they have a problem with piracy on PC. |
If you read the full Capcom interview you would know that SF4 actually outsold their predictions on PC and the reason SSF4 wasn't released was because he "didn't want the brand to be exposed to piracy" despite piracy on the 360 so not really a good example for lost sales due to piracy or Capcom knowing more about the situation...
And the fact that they are now porting 2 more fighting games (a genre that was never popular on PC) would suggest that someone at Capcom thinks that a PC release is worth doing despite piracy.
As for Crytek they expected to sell 7 million copies of Crysis 2 thanks to consoles and so far it's looking like it will strugle to out do the 3.5 million (VGChartz has Crysis 2 at just over a million retail between the three platforms ATM) the first did on PC unless PC digital sales are huge and it has strong legs, they wouldn't seem to have a good grasp on sales ether...
