The money you spent on the PS3+games would've saved you enough money to buy PC games for a decade. About your questions: - PC gaming is still the most profitable platform, but something needs to be done against piracy. The problem is people now think they deserve to download games for free, and that mentality is the worst. Even when there is a game they want to play on PC but can't pirate it, they will just think "meh, there's tons of other games I can download instead". I read that out of 1000 downloads of a game only 1 copy would be sold if they couldn't pirate it, But that's entirely not true: Only 1 copy would be sold because the rest would just choose to download another game instead. If we forced strong anti-piracy methods and people couldn't download games anymore, the only choice they had to satiate their gaming needs would be to actually buy the games, since they couldn't download them anymore, and that would make a big increase in sales. PC is still the best, but because of piracy only small/independent and Big devs are able to survive solely on it. - I'm not sure what you're asking about the X360, but 360 is barely affected by piracy. The Xbox Live has a strong anti-piracy method, despite being ridiculously overpriced. Since you're caught if you play a pirated game on Live, people are forced to buy the games with online mode. And Gamers being whores they want achievements, which reduces singleplayer games being pirated. ................................... - I downloaded ALOT of games until around 2 years ago, I think. Just like any pirate, I had tons of burned cd's of games I barely played. 90% of the games I never even finished them, and alot of them I played no more than couple of hours. Now I don't download anymore, I only buy the games, except ones I can't get my hands on. - I was a console gamer, then half-console half-PC. Now, and in the last 8 years or so, I'm like 90% PC and 10% console (Wii). I have seen the light! - I stopped pirating because I was tired of being such a whore and have a weak mentality and I wanted my original games. Supporting the devs is just a bonus. |
