Pirates are amazing , they'll probably be able to release copies before the games are made in future.

At least ps3 is safe from piracy for now.

PS3 has lost most of its exclusives to the Xbox. So PS3 or not, most of the PS3 games can be had for free. I'm starting to believe the future is digital download. Not because consumers want digital download, but because it will be the only way companies can protect their assets.

True dat.

Dammit here I thought I was the only one with a copy, but yeah this isn't unexpected I mean Bethesda even gave us a review copy while where just a college magazine (we do however study game design).

Yep, I hate pirates, thieves, and scum. I stand for the light.

On thing we can agree on.

Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

Don't see the point in that kind of comment, PC piracy is infinitely more damaging and widespread than console piracy, and always will be.

This game is an odd case though, it's different when a game is released by a shop early, this one is still a bit away. How exactly did Jack Sparrow get his hands on a copy?

INFINITELY? Damn.

I mean, let's not take into account the thousands of copies of console games in poorer countries or anything...that doesn't have ANY affect on the console market.

Well, if you're going to play semantics with words...the effect on the console business in poorer countries ISN'T actually that big a deal, because the biggest markets are where the money is.

It just seems off, and annoying, that on the few occasions console piracy has a news article, PC-tards appear to dish out the usual "buh PC is only victim of piratez!" crap. No need to post that kind of thing at all in this article, because as I said, the difference between the 2 is impossibly vast. If it's having "an" effect on console business, then by the same token it must be having a colossal effect on PC game sales.
