Why is it that every PC gamer now talks about PC game piracy? I mean its been their for years and now people start to notice it? Im so sick of hearing this rubbish out of Publishers, developers, PC gamers, and CONSOLE gamers. Really the games are gonna sell fine even with piracy so people should just quit their *****ing and just enjoy playing/making the games.

I don't know. I guess it's because people keep posting topics about it.

If you look very closely, This resembles the music industry through and through. Overzealous publishers are ruining the PC market because they release sub standard products. There are over 5 billion people in this world and plenty of room fo a PC gaming market. Consoles are not the only option here, Its far from immune to piracy. How many folks have mod chips in there respective consoles ?

The law is to blame here for this problem. Piracy can be beaten with a harsher view, Imagine you got ten years in jail if you got caught with pirated goods. That would solve the problem very well indeed.

Simply Brilliant. It reminds me of other controversial theories doing the rounds, Specifically the Idea that games are murder "simulators".

Hail to the king.

To the OP - I completely agree, I'm pretty tired of hearing these crazed anti-pirates ragin and whining about it. Seriously anytime they hear something they dont like they blame piracy, or call you a pirate.

Yeah it's getting a bit ridiculous, but it's like they say, if you keep repeating something long enough people will start believing it. Not saying that piracy doesn't do any harm, but there are many succesfull PC games that prove there is enough people who buy their games even with piracy around.

I'm really sick of hearing whining teenage sissies, whose parents were either too lazy or too stupid to teach them right from wrong, defending piracy. Piracy is what caused DRM. If not for thieves, we wouldn't have to deal with it.

Interesting reasoning. We should similarly solve thievery by lopping off the right hand of any thief caught. We should deal with illegal parking by confiscating and selling the car. And let's stop burglary once and for all by giving such criminals life in prison. Most civilized societies have legal systems that dole out punishment that is proportionate to the crime committed. The day we start punishing petty video game piracy with 10-year sentences is the day we move closer to a police state.

I havent really heard anyone defending it, however I have heard alot of likeminded people getting sick and tired of people trying to jump on the band wagon and whining about it. Then you've got companies like Blizzard who are the LAST people on earth that need to worry about piracy cutting things out of their games, because theyre supposedly worried about piracy, what a bunch of snot nosed greedy punks

Not to mention DRM kills the resale of games. So, I guess you could say that pirates are costing me $$$.

LOL, people get irate and defend piracy like its a birth right, we live ina generation that thinks they are owed something. After saying this, piracy is overblown, it has been around forever. It is a cop out for developers like Sellouts EPIC.

there will always be some form of piracy, but in some places they jack up the price because they say say they have to get the money somehow but here the minimum for a new game is about $100 which is about $77 American. i find it cheaper to import the the games here, last game i bought it was $110, got it imported and it was only $62 (and that was just the other day)

i personally don't see anything wrong with piracy because there are games i've bought which weren't worth what i payed and if its a good game i will buy it legitimately
