Well I agree 100% I would suggest these guys to wake up and understand how easy its to pirate on consoles...
Piracy on PC:
1. Venture in warez vira ridden sites.
2. Get a virus/Format PC
3. Venture in warez vira ridden sites with a bit of luck not getting infected
4. Download game risking ending up in jail.
5. Again repeat steps 1-3 to find a no cd crack
6. A patch releases so wait for a No CD crack to be released
7. In case of starforce risk breaking down your entire machine
8. Finally able to run a buggy non patched game.
9. NO Multiplayer because that requires an original game
Piracy on consoles:
1. Flash your DVD drive at your Xbox360 or have it flshed for €50
2. Rent a game
3. Copy the game
4. Take the rented game back
5. Enjoy your €5 game.
exactly trying to find the dvd image will kill your files as well as wasting hours trying to find it getting infected with a virus and no dvd image, its just so much easier to buy the game. the no cd cracks are quite easy to find though but the game itself is very hard

Its better than ****ing about piracy that isn't even happening to your games because of CD Keys requiring activation, and they are primarily online only games in the first place, so its redundant to even pirate them.I think that they are just complaining about this to cover up their main motive for making their games on consoles... money.
well more systems = more money, who makes the most money in video games? ea who has the most multi plat games? ea, funny how ubi doesn't do the same but it seems to dislike sony which costs them lots of sales which ea gets from playstation
[QUOTE="cobrax25"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]well, if they made better fresher games they wouldn't have that problem. Somehow Valve is doing wonderfuly, the same with BF2AdrianWernerbecause Valve is smart, and uses steam to authenticate single player. which makes Valve games virtually impossible to Pirate. BF2, is online focused, so a pirated version will always suck. Ermm...everything from STEAM was pirated. And yeah BF2 is MP-only, but so are QW and UT3. steam is a waste of time trying to pirate on
[QUOTE="True_Gamer_"][QUOTE="topgunmv"]3 days? Using what, dialup? And most torrents come with all the files and directions on how to use them. It's easier to just click a couple links and download a file than it is to order a chip, tear apart a ps2 and put the chip in, and then still having to get your hands on the game.

Dude it's far easier to pirate on the PC than on a console.
No, no its not. I could do it in five minutes. Besides, I could always just social engineer me a copy of any console game I wanted. Social engineering is another form of hacking after all. it's more like this for pirating pc games. 1. go to torrent website. 2. search for game 3. download it using torrent program. simple as can be and it's not the 360 where you could render it completely useless because you screwed up wiring in the chip. No its go to turrent site, hope the turrent your dling is ligit, spend 3 days dling it, try instailing it with daemon tools, hope it works, then get a cd key/crack, hope they work, and then not be able to play it online. For the PS2, put a mod chip in there, which is pretty simple, and someone can do it for you for cheap, dl the game, hope its legit, burn it to a dvd, and play.Two things:
SWAP MAGIC
RENTING
Console Piracy is MUCH easier than PC...
not really considering for a pc all you need is well a pc and for consoles you have to get a chip and do other stuff. what you mean is your affraid of opening up your $600 box and installing a chip cause you might break it and render it usesless and the warrenty will be void

not really considering for a pc all you need is well a pc and for consoles you have to get a chip and do other stuff.
Swap Magic is a boot backup disk thats being sold LEGALLY online!!!! Just google it...
And for consoles you just rent copy and play...whats the "other stuff"?
illegal stuff. either pirating pc games is far easier no matter how you look at it. trying to download pc games is a real pain. 1 install the bitorent 2 set it up 3 seach for the game and you don't get any cd images 4 search again same thing happends 5 try again and you get 1 so called cd image but once you download it it isn't a real image or the image wont download 6 you go to the shop and buy the game and copy it and then sell the game lossing half what you paid for the game so the game company still gets money
They are extremely overexaggerating. Besides, their games are the LEAST pirated because they use freaking Starforce and CDKEYS that require activation. Even a pro like me would find it not worth while. VandalvideoStarforce has been cracked and so have many CDKEYS. In fact, all of the consoles except for the PS3 have been cracked as well.
Misconception, piracy isn't killing PC games. Piracy as you guys know it today has been around since usenet got off the ground in 1979, yet it's only now that PC developers started complaining, so what's the deal? It's more likely that the cost to produce the games are so high that they couldn't afford to keep it exclusive to the PC, but they simply aren't man enough to admit it and are using Piracy as a scapegoat.What should of been PC exclusives: UNREAL TOURNAMENT, Quake Wars.
Multiplatform explained:Source: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/46079
Across two separate lectures at this week's Game Developers Conference, id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead and Epic Games president Michael Capps both admitted that piracy of PC games caused their companies to pursue developing beyond the PC platform. "Piracy has pushed id as being multiplatform," stated Hollenshead, whose company contracted Z-Axis to handle the PlayStation 3 version and Nerve Software the Xbox 360 edition of Splash Damage's forthcoming Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (PC).
Comments made by Epic's Capps carried a similar tone. "PC gaming is really falling apart," he revealed. "It killed us to make Unreal Tournament 3 cross-platform, but Epic had to do it," adding "the market that would buy a $600 video card knows how Bittorrent works." Epic is currently developing Unreal Tournament 3 for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in-house.
Meanwhile, Firaxis designer and programmer Soren Johnson remained confident in PC development. He suggested that "game design on the PC is going to bend toward persistence," noting Blizzard's World of Warcraft is "successful because you can't pirate WoW. You cannot pirate an MMO. Period." redneckdouglasWho/what did they blaim? High video card price, Bittorrent users!

Did you miss the UT04? If you did your really missing out.
meh. i played it and it wasn't THAT great. I liked some of the modes but the game hasn't changed much. maybe i've just played too many UT's.[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]They are extremely overexaggerating.

Some of the ridiculous stuff you say manages to amaze me... all that extra crap you added for PC piracy, viruses and formatting your HD?? You make it sound like it's actually difficult to pirate PC games, when it's one of the easiest things to do. The difference with a 360 is once you use cracked firmware, the next time it's updated by Microsoft your xbox will be bricked. They do this to constantly weed out piracy.

Sooo youre saying that there isnt a risk of being caught by the FBI for violating federal copyright laws?
That there isnt a risk catching a virus while visiting shady warez/porn sites?
Also do you actually believe that console pirates give a sh***t about XBL? Only 10% of whole Xbox1 users got XBL and I dont see this changing this gen... If someone can have 50 games instead of 5 games I believe that person wont have the need of XBL to keep him entertained...because offline multiplayer can be a decent substitute to the online one...
The renting industry on itself offers games to be pirated SAFELY with 0 chances to be caught!!!!
And thats the main pain of consoles...one doesnt even need a internet connection to pirate games...
