Your talking about DemiGod. The main issue with piracy for the game wasnt the large number of pirated copies, it was the fact all the pirated copies were from countries the game was never going to be released in. SO the majority of player only realistic option to get the game was piracy.

Because pirating a game is as simple as just copy paste... sadly that's not how it is since you need a cracked version to go off.....

Wow... thanks for being way late to the party.  I know how it works... they didn't specify "protocol" so I thought it was referencing just users of BitTorrent client, not the whole.  I don't go on to lots of BitTorrent news postings to know how they reveal information on downloads so I took it at face value.  K-thx-bye.

hello ?

You can download demigod digitally from the stardock site, from ANYWHERE in the world.........( and you can do this since the release day, gamestop most likely broke the street release date to protest this).

You know if like you guys keep arguing piracy has no effect on sales.
How is it that most big game developers are slowing moving from the PC to consoles ?
I mean
- PC users base is bigger
- PC development costs are lower
- You have to sell your console games for more because you have to pay licencing fees...

Does not seem like a good idea at all if something isn't wrong with PC sales..

Perhaps it's because console gamers typically have lower standards, and are easier to milk for more money?

can I translate this as :

- The huge majority of console gamers actually purchase the games they play ?

Thanks for making my point...

No it means that console players will be glad if a company even offered them a bucket of crap.

How is it that blizard and Valve make so much money? Magic? They just make games that don't suck, something VERY few people are able to do in modern times it seems.

And claiming that console gamers are somehow inferior is the most elitist false claims anyone can make.

Console gamers have no lower standards than PC gamers, nor are they any easier to milk for money.  Especialy considering the fact that many PC gamers are console games and vice versa.

The only people who believe this is the people who think piracy on PC isn't a problem.....

its actually more the economy then anything. Piracy exists on consoles, just like PC. At this moment, its cheaper for people to just get a console and not have to worry about drivers, system specs, etc. Back less then 4 years ago it wasnt that big of an issue getting PC games because people could afford the time to get things running.

A new console needs to be purchased every 4 - 7 years. A PC needs upgrades or a whole new system every 3 - 5 years normally, unless you splurged on the original build and you might be able to get 7 - 8 years out of it. The general consumer also doesnt know a thing about upgrading PCs so they have to hired others to do it which cost about the same cost as a brand new console.

Let the economy recover these issues will disappear, PC hardware will drop in cost, and PC development will increase.
