Crytek = ANNOYING

deactivated-5f3fa34a024b3 · 2008-06-28 06:31:29

i dont know if its just me, but over the past few weeks crytek's CEO Cervat Yerli has really been getting on my nerves. whenever he talks about the new crysis warhead, he ends up blurting some crap about piracy like this quote:'It's crazy how the ratio between sales to piracy is probably 1 to 15 to 1 to 20 right now. For one sale there are 15 to 20 pirates and pirate versions, and that's a big shame for the PC industry. I hope with Warhead I hope we improve the situation, but at the same time it may have an impact on [our] PC exclusivity in the future.'now, correct me if im wrong, but isnt it impossible to accurately TRACK how many games are being pirated? surely if there was a way it would mean tracking the people themselves, in which case couldnt they like...sue them? isnt he just making these figures up? now, it sounds to me hes just making excuses, his game didnt sell that well becuase A. it was too bloomin demanding for a vast majority of the PC gaming community, B. here in the UK at least, its too expensive! i get brand new games for £25, but i go into gamestation or whatever and they have the 2nd hand copies for like £32! why???. and finally C. lets face it, the game wasnt that great, i havnet actually bought it but i played the demo and i only hear it gets worse once you reach the aliens (again, forgive me if im wrong, im going on other peoples opinions here)...bah, its probly just me in this lol...but im very quickly coming to despise that guy....

This number is nowhere else on the internet.slickchris7777

eh, well it's true. think of it as a failure of the internet on reporting non-sensational news. game releases mid-nov.. over 2.5 months it sells 1 million. over the next 4-5 months it sells another half a million. doesn't sound too unbelievable.
