Forums - Gaming - Pirates truly have no shame

They don't need shame; they've got Spore.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Pirates >>>> Ninjas!

....Oh wait, wrong discussion.



You know, if I was to ever make a game, I would leak a torrent out there a few weeks early of my game. The only catch would be that this version of the game comes with something that starts eating your hard drive after a certain date and at certain dates after that.

I'd start making people paranoid to pirate my shit. Let them sue me and admit that they're pirating crap because the pirated versions are the only ones that has that code.



If I ever do make a game I'd leak only like the 1st quarter by "accident," that way if it actually IS a good game then the hype will reach ridiculous levels. If it sucks... sucks for me I guess.

Have you ever heard about weird and dumb lawsuits??? My sister is a lawyer and she told me about how her firm makes settlements and wins court fights from really dumb cases (she told me some of them, i laugh as hell) and most of them are worth hundreds of thousands and millions...

 

If they have a really good lawyer, then they'll win and they'll take you for everything you are worth, that's the reason you can't do that, however, what you can do is do it off the record so they have no proof (but this means that the good code has to be also available for pirates)...

you know whats really sad 297,351 downloads of patapon from one torrent listing site (mininova).  This is a game that was budget priced at $20 dollars.  Its a quality game.

The real kicker is that it sold 430,000 copies worldwide according to vgchartz data

 

 Aye, that's a real sad one.

Patapon is a great game, it deserved far more than the 430.000 copies sold it got.
