| Mr Puggsly said: "Steam has revolutionized the way people buy and play games. It’s not just a digital storefront. Steam encourages customers to buy games, share them with friends and compete online for achievements. For those players, it becomes more fun to buy games than pirate them." Who wrote that crap? Are they forgetting Xbox Live? Steam's success is primarily due to all the sales they have, they undersell the competition regularly. Gabe is really downplaying how much of an issue piracy is. Regardless of quality, PC games simply can't sell like they once did. There are some PC hits here and there, but the piracy is so bad that it actually changed the PC gaming industry. MMO's and other online games are the only genres thriving on the PC because pirates can't steal them. This douche is in the business of selling PC games. So he'll spin any argument in a way that makes PC gamers happy. He'll throw developers and publishers under the bus because they aren't his customers. |
