Piracy is rarer on consoles than on PC....

"Lately, a host of publishers and developers said that developing for the PC is a risk because of rampant piracy. Crytek even stated that it is abandoning PC exclusives and that it plans to release a PC version of its games after a certain delay so that the console versions are not threatened by piracy."

I have heard on here that piracy is on consoles. Well if you read this article it is more difficult for someone to pirate a game on a console because of what you have to purchase in order to do it.

And the quote above proves it's worse on PC's;)

Wow, just wow. Of course piracy happens more on PC, the PC is an open platform. Console fanboys still blow it way out of proportion on PC however.

LOL I've made a lot of points;) You just ignore them with your ranting because you don't like them!:|

I think he's trying to prove that piracy happens on PC...

Or something...

Yea his threads are always odd. Captain obvious speaks again though.

And you never actually posted something factual in your own words. You got old articles to handle that for you.

It's far easier to pirate a game on a PC than it is to pirate a game on a console. That's pretty much why piracy on PCs is much, much worse than piracy on consoles.

Does piracy exist on consoles and PC? Yeah.

Is it far worse and more rampant on PC? You betcha.

Hermits try to act like console piracy is a huge thing, when it's been happening for a long time and never reached the level of PC piracy. San Andreas leaked in 2004, but it was still the best-selling game of that year, and Halo 2, which also leaked, was the second-highest selling game of that year.

This is almost as shocking as finding out there is sand on a beach.

Yeah ok old articles lol and if you read my OP I put why I was posting it in my own words and plus it doesn't leave console fans out in the dark! Ive read thread after thread of hermits attacking consolites on here! I'm proving a point! I said piracy was a problem for PC gaming and it was said to me that it's a problem on consoles as well. Ok that may be but it is a WAY bigger problem on PC's hence developers going multiplat from pc to consoles;)jasonheyman

And yet PC still has the most exclusives coming out. Not to mention has the most AAA/AA exclusives out now.

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25781167

You console fanboys still blow PC piracy way out of proportion. Sure, there's piracy on PC. But there's still many many more PC gamers buying the games than not. Hence the many 1+ million seller on PC (CoD4, Crysis, Warcraft, WoW, Starcraft, Medal of Honor, etc.).

Consolites do nothing but attack us PC gamers. Claiming childish crap like "PC gaming is dying" yet, it's always still here and in fact, has been growing heavily for over the past year. No one doubts that PC piracy is a problem...it's just not as big a problem as you console fanboys make it out to be. I've been a PC gamer since 1990 (when i started gaming) and never once has it looked like it was in trouble. :shock:

Oh, and how do you explain console titles like DMC4, RE4, Lost Planet, etc. moving to PC? Console piracy or just more money? :roll:

Most PC only developers are still staying on PC such as Crytek (at least according to their last report). Independent developers pop up from all over the place to make PC games (easier to enter PC gaming market due to PC being an open platform). Hence more PC developers constantly being opened. :)

Piracy is on the wii and 360, not the playstation 3

I don't support piracy and I think its wrong even tho one of my friends doesn't own a single legit game for his wii, and he owns just about every game on it -_-

I think you hermits try to soften the blow far more with your weak excuses than console fanboys try to blow it out of proportion. All this talk about piracy is coming from your own PC developers. I'm inclined to believe that devs like Crytek, Bethesda, and Epic know more about PC piracy than you.

actually, the best selling game of 2004 was World of Warcraft.

first off that article is now making stuff up.

"Crytek even stated that it is abandoning PC exclusives and that it plans to release a PC version of its games after a certain delay so that the console versions are not threatened by piracy"

When did crysis say they would release a pc version after the console one. They said they were considering moving to multiplatform. But nowhere did it mention a delayed pc release for their games.

also just because you release on a console doesn't mean you sell silly numbers. according to eurogamer UT3 sold over a million, and that would be on 3 platforms. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=263906

Crysis sold 1.5 on one platform. Even with piracy. In fact crysis have only made 2 games, both on the PC and look how big they are.

Wow... I'm shocked.

Please give me a moment. I need to recover from the shock.

Crytek is not doing any more PC exclusive games. A job well done pirates! :D

Piracy will never stop its just human nature we can cheap and free stuff.Elite-Realist

Didn't you hear about that new law Bush signed. I bet in the next few years they are going to crack down on piracy of all kinds and they are going to start keeping computers.

lol funny, fallout 3 on pc isn't even up yet. the pirates really are starting to target x360. gears of war 2 already leaked what's epic gona say now? fable 2 already leaked so much for console being hard to pirate on. not like x360 mod chips are hard to get.

well i know how to pirate PC games, but console games i have no idea.

it may be possible on consoles but the adverage person doesn't know how

and the average person don't know how to pirate on pc either. its the geeks that know how to pirate on both platforms

Exactly my point!

gears 2 leaked a month before release that will do some big damage to sales. its very easy to buy modded x360 with warrenty. x360 piracy is becoming almost as easy as pc now . just admit it both platforms have huge piracy, but that doesn't mean good games don't seel well.

I would say it's happening like that most likely because of PC/console owners! Only someone who knows a lot about computers can hack into a console and steal! It's bad PC owners bringing it to consoles! Like it was said b4 thanks a lot pirates...

No 360 piracy is no where as big, their is no draw back on the pc and nothing really you have to do

360 you have to mod it and many people don't want to do that

what about all the games going from console to pc? must be the piracy problems on consoles.

360 you have to mod it and many people don't want to do that

or you buy a premodded one for the same price as non modded one. sure pc piracy is worse but x360 has big problems as well. with x360 every single game ever made for it will work in a modded x360 with pc you have to have a crack for every single game and often you need a new crack when a patch comes out and they don't work online on major severs. try and find a crack for hl2 ep2/portal/tf2.

the fact is x360 can play copied games with software mods, the x360's main piracy protection was not letting pcs read the disks but that was easily hacked, a few software mods can make x360 play copied games.

x360 only requires software mods to play backups and there are multiple guides online about how to do it. face it x360 is not hard to play copied games on. much easier than trying to crack valve pc games.

or you buy a premodded one for the same price as non modded one. sure pc piracy is worse but x360 has big problems as well. with x360 every single game ever made for it will work in a modded x360 with pc you have to have a crack for every single game and often you need a new crack when a patch comes out and they don't work online on major severs. try and find a crack for hl2 ep2/portal/tf2.

Who goes to the store and purchases an Xbox 360 and thinks about mods for it?? 90 percent of honest consumers go to a retail store and pick up the model they want "arcade" "elite" and buy a copy of a game take it home and play it!

You just proved my point! Only a PC/Console owner would talk that way or even know that!;)

Crytek have had console IPs in development.

Crysis cant be ported in its current state to consoles.

OF course its worse on PC; go put a feather in your cap sherlock.
