Even on a joystick the RE series has an annoying interface. That's really all I have to say about that.

The RE4 port was an unusually half assed effort, but it was neither published or developed by Capcom. Just bad quality control. However, it was very playable and it looked fine even without the lighting/shading effects.

If people aren't happy with the ports that's fine, nobody is obligated to purchase them. Ultimately, they are functional ports that get the job done. I just hate to see people piss and moan then enjoy them through piracy.

that's the point people are not buying them... That is the entire point of the article, people aren't buying the games because they aren't good not because of piracy, as shown by the fact that some games do sell very well.

How do you know RE5 didn't sell well on the PC? Ofcourse I mean relative to typical PC software sales.

I can't imagine RE4 didn't sold well because its hard to find and not distributed on digital services.

As I pointed out in a different post, Capcom was happy with how SF4 sold. They just weren't happy with it being one of the most pirated PC games. It seems quality games see both good sales and massive piracy.

Gabe's argument suggests better games get pirated less. The reality is better games get pirated the most.
