I Am Alive not planned for PC due to piracy concerns

Why would anyone be a dumbass PC gamer since it gets no good eXclusives?EvanTheGamer

Heck...it looks like even action exclusives are about to make a return to PC. Good times ahead.

Do you take this place that seriously? Really?

PC gamers and how they steal so much : (EvanTheGamer

Ubisoft's games sell badly on PC cause their DRM is so bad that its better to buy it and never install it and instead get it from piratebay.

How about dem apples?

[QUOTE="Lonelynight"]I always assumed that Ubisoft titles sold badly because the PC version of their games are usually ****.999realthings

I thought it was cause of their sh*ty DRM.

Nope it's both :D

Keep making excuses why you won't buy PC games. ( DRM , Dev's won't bake you a cake , it's a full moon and you don't feel like it ) The bottom line is if PC games can no longer make a profit due to piracy they just wont be made anymore. Valve , Blizzard , Epic , CD Project Red and Crytek have all switched or started to make games for consoles. These guys used to be the big PC only dev's on the block. In the case of Crytek and Epic , both have stated switching to consoles was due mostly to PC piracy. (info is out there just google it )

Making a single player Exclusive PC game with any sort of large budget is just to risky in this market. Pach-Attack! on Game-Trailers had a whole episode on this subject saying that most PC games in the future would be On-line only to combat piracy.

Devs move to consoles in the belief they they will get massive sales, devs make their name on PC then use the profits to make console titles and blame the people that made them big in the first place (i.e. PC gamers)

Luckly however it doesnt always work, like Crytek, whos first PC only games had massive sales, and after they sold out to consoles the game was a sales flop and they had to let staff go because of it. Its great then that happens.

7.5 game anyway....

[QUOTE="EvanTheGamer"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]

And yet they've released three big budgeted PC exclusives in last two months. When was the last time they've released a console exclusive? Just Dance for Wii? Lol.

Once it gets rid of the myth that developing for console = automatic fame and fortune then its only a good thing.

People lost there jobs because Crytek sold out and PC gamers wouldn't support them.

Crytek made there own mistakes, perhaps the cryteck example will stop other companies from doing the same and so help more people provide for their families.

That's funny..... You think that a company like crytek "owns" you, becasue they start on pc? That's a laugh. The reason, they started on pc is becuase the consoles have roally fees that you have to pay. It's also a lot cheaper to make a game on pc than on consoles, because you don't have to buy a dev console. When they became bigger, they expand their market like any other company. (Or find some other ways to increass profit off of pc gamers.)

Drop you self entitlement why don't you?

Ubisoft really needs to make games able to compete with their pirate counter-parts. They have been releasing **** for some time now, with the exception of Anno.

bump Long live gamers (console fans) and shame on PC "gamers" who only care about specs and thus the reason why they upgrade so much and dont care about supporting game companies.EvanTheGamer

[QUOTE="pelvist"]

Ubisoft suck, they have probably the worst DRM in history yet they complain that noone buys their games. Meanwhile small indy devs with no money to start with are making a fortune on PC. Good job Ubi!

Woah, I leave GS for a couple of days and I see open flaming in the beginning of this thread. I need to read the new TOU! :o On topic: That's it, I'm selling my preferred gaming platform and picking up one I do not prefer because some random dude on the internet has a hate campaign!!organic_machine

New ToU = hella fun :P

[QUOTE="tenaka2"]

[QUOTE="lowe0"] How is a preconception about a gaming platform more important than their ability to provide for their family?locopatho

What about console franchises such as Assassin's Creed, Ridge Racer, Mass Effect, Ridge Racer, Metal Gear, Burnout, Bad Company, Devil May Cry, Braid, Street Fighter, Sonic, Blazblue, LA Noire, Limbo, Phantasy Star and dozens of others being released on PC?

Companies aren't going to consoles. They're going multiplatform.

Exactly.

Have some fully made the switch? Of course. It hardly means everyone has done the same though.

I'm reading a book where there is this emperor oppressing the population and he seems to be inmortal, they have literally stabbed him and burned him and he regenerates and calls himself a god, and people see him as such. Yet... the characters in the book still had the balls to go to his home and try to steal stuff from him. W/e they do people will find a way around it so don't even bother in fact them trying to cover up for it might make it worse.

[QUOTE="RyuRanVII"]

[QUOTE="locopatho"] Most of the big PC companies go to consoles tho. The likes of Bungie, id, Valve, Epic, Bioware, Bethesda, Obsidian all make console games now. Civilisation made the leap to consoles (poorly, but better then Civ 5 imo) The new Stalker and Witcher games are going to consoles. Minecraft is going to consoles. I really hope Diablo 3 will as well. Do you think all these, the biggest and arguably best PC devs out there are wrong?locopatho

Or this dude? lol.

Yeah I think it will be a crap game and when it sucks they will probably blame something else now that Ubisoft took the excuse of PC piracy away.
