MW3 pirated on PC already...

BF3's campaign was also terrible.

Jebus213

I don't remember that being part of the initial argument, but thanks for changing the subject?

My argument is fully backed up.

Jebus213

Not at all, but whatever :?

I really want someone to explain the whole "CoD is a disease and ruining gaming" argument.

I see a whole lot of diversity in the industry...

commonfate

Gaming should be about creativity and passion and a love for what they're doing, not driven only by the bottom dollar. The Activision/EA machines delete all that and replaces it with a robotic factory-st-y-le heartlessness business approach. Nothing like that can be good for the future of gaming.

[QUOTE="Miroku32"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Not sure if srs. I have a solution for your Call of Duty dislike - it's called not buying it. Hear it works well and saves you money. Please don't try and imply that these thieves are doing anything positive for the industry. Would rather you allow COD fans to enjoy their game too, instead of some faux political-esque message :|Ravensmash

That is a poor mentality to have. If this continues, game prices AND dlc prices will increase.

Fixed.

Pirates can't play post-3.56 firmware games on jailbroken PS3s.

and then another hack comes out! They can't even stop hackers on the PSP. Can't play Socom FTB3 without a single hacker.

So i'd rather have gamers buy only worthwhile games and DLC. That's not gonna change the outcome much.

The industry is reaching a point where there are a lot of up and coming problems. DLC, store exclusives, and poor relations between pubs/devs/retailers. We're the consumer, and we are the ones that ultimately decides what happens. When more and more money gets involved, there is some smarts in relation to what is right and wrong. How people are so willing to put up with on-disc dlc, day one dlc, and to an extent the string of revenue MW works off of is beyond me.

I completely agree. The issue, naturally, lies in between the consumers and the stores, and the stores and the pubs/devs. Unfortunately, we're never gonna find a sufficient enough "no-buy" for consumers, and thus we'll all continue to buy. Even boycotts last a limited amount of time before everybody storms in.

Considering the general consensus amongst hardcore gamers that CoD is the source of all our problems, I'd imagine a good amount of people would pirate it.illmatic87

I don't understand the fascination with it. Eventually it will die down, probably shortly after the start of next gen, but by *od, I've seen people buy NEW xbox consoles JUST BECAUSE IT IS MW themed!

Talking bad about pc because of how early it got leaked? What about Gears of War3 and the many console games that have gotten leaked earlyier then this so far this year?

You clearly know nothing about the PS3 scene.

Every game released after Portal 2 is encrypted with new keys. Pirates can play any game that requires only 3.55 firmware and below on jailbroken PS3s, but they can't play recent games.

The PSP is a different case. I won't go into details on a site like this though.

Why are you bringing this up? Pretty much nobody here pirates games, and dislike it when people pirate. Pirating in general is bad, doesn't matter the platform.

And why does this deserve a thread when pretty much all console games are leaked a couple weeks early?

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="Miroku32"] Well, I hope someday gamers notice they are being ripped off and do the same they did to Guitar Hero: stop buying CoD. Heirren

PC gamers who say that the piracy problem on consoles is equivalent to the piracy problem on the PC are as bad as consolites who say Uncharted 3 looks as good as the best looking games on the PC. Both are just not true.DarthBilf

Piracy is just as bad on consoles as it is on PC :| It's even worse when it comes to handhelds. No one is defending the problem, but to deny it is even worse.

So when Gears of war 3 and Crysis 2 were leaked early on the 360 did that automatically mean every 360 owner is going to illegally download it?

Just had to be a Personal Computer "Gamer", didn't it?Deniable_Ops

What?

LOL i just got modded for making a joke about piracy. :lol: Piracy is bad. ;)

In after piracy ruins PC.

Anyway this wasn't a group of 1337 hax0rz that hacked Infinity Ward or some crap but rather a warehouse worker who made off with the game which happens with every platform.

its pc whos shocked?

Nobody. Just like when console titles are pirated early.

not even worth pirating, waste of space.

Waste of bandwidth on the interwebz

I wouldn't dirty my hard drive with this diluted, degraded, debacle.

Like some people already said, why even bother pirating a low quality rehashed game? Its a waste of time and effort :S

Maybe we should make a thread every time a console game gets put on pirate sites a week or two early. Its funny how its a big dead when a PC game gets leaked yet pretty much every console game released is on torrent sites weeks before release and noone mentions it.

Scratch that i think it would be better to just have a console piracy thread where we can announce all the console games on torrent sites, oh wait no, that would probably get you banned.

What's terrible is that these pirates create this huge cycle of ignorance that causes some companies to impose annoying DRM's on the PC version, or just straight up ignore it at the worst case.

Its bad enough people just have 0 moral qualms, but then you have the people actively seeking pirate copies to not give the developers any money, just because they feel entitled to own the game even though they don't want to pay money for it or support it. Honestly, if you don't like the expensive map packs or lack of formula change, then you wouldn't want it at all. If you care enough about it to pirate it, I don't see why you can't buy it when its cheaper later on or at least used.

I wouldn't download this crap if Steam had a free download button for it. I'm more insulted that PC gamers actually wasted their bandwidth.

Then again, I imagine most of those who are pirating just wanna play the story then uninstall.

I guess it ain't a surprise that a piece of s*** of a rehashed game that's not worth 1 penny gets pirated by some people because of a disturbing curiosity. The hell would they waste bandwith and time on it though, they should just check youtube videos.

Disc2>Disc1

dontshackzmii

What a load of bull. If it were leaked it would be all over torrent and warez sites, which it isn't. Besides, console games get pirated weeks before their PC counterparts, the latest example of which is Batman AC. Modern Warfare 3 will be no different.

I don't care because they will make plentyof profit on this game. So what, they will be missing a few million out of their billion...

no sane PC gamer is going to buy MW3 anyways

Jebus213

As of right now there's only 8,000+ people playing Blops and Mw2 on PC. Also that's world wide. Both games are dead.

Hopefully it will get pirated as much as possible. It will serve Rehashvision right.

Stringerboy

GEOW 3 was available on console in the summer pirated, lol.

It happens on all platforms.

losing COD games on PC wouldn't be the biggest loss to me anyway, it's not like the devs care about the port that much anyway.
