People are pirating like every game and the best selling games are really that great?

Valve demographics just exist out a lot of pirates who thx to his sweet talk will get brainwashed even more...

It is sickening how many times I read comments as 'Fuck company X for that reason they deserve that their game get pirated and with the money I saved I bought nice hatq/clothing or whatever for Team Fortress 2 >_>!

Yeah Valve exist out some great minds, they only don't make some of the greatest games but they know how to win gamers to their side and rip them off before other game devs can.

This is a joke, right? It has to be.

It's no coincidence that the companies who are the most outspoken ones against piracy and the used games market are the same who struggle to make games that people want to buy and keep. Meanwhile, you don't hear similar complaints from the companies who are capable of providing great products.

Bullshit, Ubisoft, EA, and Capcom complain but they all provide quality PC games.

You don't hear much from Activision and Blizzard but they're clearly concerned about piracy as well. Activision actually hunts down pirates. Diablo 3 will require DRM even for offline play.

Some developers simply can't rely on the PC a lone anymore and focus on consoles.

Ubisoft, EA and capcom would be better placed in the PC market if they didn't make dodgy ports of the console versions to the PC.

EA's biggest franchise is FIFA the pc version has only just been bought into line with the console versions in terms of quality if these companys expect people to buy there products then they need to ensure quality before release. Capcom are terrible at this as well having played DMC and RE's on the PC then Playstation you can see how much they really cared about the PC version

Capcom, EA, and Ubisoft put out a ton of software and some work better than others. Companies like Blizzard and Valve don't put out much and even their games can be buggy or resource hogs for sub par graphics.

Fifa won't sell nearly as well as the console ports even if they improved it for the PC. I've played a lot of Capcom games over the years on the PC and most worked great. Like I said though, some may work better than others. Also their older games don't work well on newer releases of Windows, but that's common.

If consumers are unhappy with the quality of a game, they don't have to buy it. Video games aren't forced on people. However, people shouldn't be getting them for free either. I recall Capcom saying they were happy with the PC sales of Street Fighter 4, but they were unhappy with how many people were getting it free.
