It's not fair what game makers are doing

They are blaming piracy for bad sales, but they should blame them self.More and more games don't get a PC version. Yes there is piracy on the PC but there is as much of it on the X360.

What i would do is tone down the requirements. If the X360 can run it flawlessly i don't see why a three year old computer can't. People can't buy a new graphic card every year to play your crappy unoptimized games. This and at least make the games playable on mouse and keyboard and im sure PC games would sell more.

I agree.

Great avatar. Gotta love the 'toads!

Let them play the blame piracy game. All it does is make them look like fools and lose sales, if they want to do that then let them. I think its quite funny when devs lose all this money after blaming piracy and wonder why the fanbase doesn't like them.

Thanks!

I actually find system reqs to have toned down tremendously lately. How old is an 8800GT? It paired with an original C2D can still max out almost anything nowadays.TheCrazed420

Big deal, people finding a scapegoat excuse, been happening for years with pretty much everything.

Didn't piracy kill the music industry like, 10 years ago? yet there still around.

aside from crysis i can still generally get "very high" quality out of most all pc games on my almost 2 year old rig. not bad eh?

I do agree TC, developers can't really point fingers when it comes to piracy, it has to do with the quality of the product, look at games like HL2, and Crysis, they do fine in the sales department and that is because they are good games that are worth the price.Im_single

No, there is not just as much piracy on Xbox 360

No, games don't play flawlessly on the Xbox 360 either. Consoles suffer from performance issues just as PC's can. Multiport games on the PC let people tone the graphics down to equal consoles if performance is an issue, so you can use 3-year-old graphics on a 3-year-old machine to have a playable game.

Constant upgrading is what has brought my PC gaming to a near stall, I just got tired of trying to keep up.

These willl be minimun requirementst for Sims 3

* Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
* 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* 1 GB RAM
* At least 6.5 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content
* 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0

And that is why this game will make money thats all I'm sayin.
