Piracy Makes CoD4 Devs Sad

[Kwaad]

I'm not a big fan of piratin' PC games. Why? Just because it's not really fair to the dev. However if I know the game is REALLY good, I usually go out and buy it. However if I have reason to beleive it is HORRIBLE, I download it to see if it's any good. If it ROCKs. I usually buy it. I also tend to pirate more games from companies like, EA, Ubi, Microsoft.
Why? Because it dont hurt the devs as much as you would think it does. It hurts the multi-billion $ profit publishers.

Next up. You wanna hear what pirateing is? Theift, right?

That's Blizzard. 2BILLION profit from 1 game.

 

I'm not gonna go into much detail, but if 99.9% of people pirated that game, and they made 22million. (profit) I would still say that company dosent have much room to complain.

I *never* pirate games from small companies, that publish their own content.

I hate companies that make 100x profit off their investment.

Games werent always about the money. They were about FUN. About having fun to PLAY them. Not see how mass market, morally correct, and appeal to 90% of gamers. They used to be FUN. Small, Pointed to a small market. Those were the good days. Today games are about money.

EDIT: halo3 is a good example. The game cost under 50million to make, and made microsoft over 200million.(alot over)
