Skyrim already being pirated on Xbox360

Modern Warfare 3 is being pirated on Xbox360 now too. Playable obviously, whilst the PC one isn't.

all I can say is this.
but you cannot play the pc version....So? If I go to a bank rob it and am notable to use the money for a few days because the police are looking for me doesn't mean a damn It still means I robbed a bank.

Just swallow it up and admit that 360 pirates have foiled the day. You are defending your platform so much you are starting to appear as if you are defending your pirates.

Piracy is only about being on PC when publishers can use it as an excuse to miss deadlines and sell out it's user base. Putting the blame on console pirates only means they have to market to a harder crowd to please.

lol baker just lol

the really funny thing is, he clearly wanted to get people on his side agreeing with his point. but his delivery was so clumsy and desperate that it totally backfired, and everyone is just laughing at him.

typical...

Does this mean the PS3 version is better since it hasn't been pirated yet?

[QUOTE="-CheeseEater-"]Nah, but developers can only/ever complain about piracy on the PC! :| Makes me sick that they 'delay' PC games like Batman, GTA IV etc. over 'PC' piracy, when consoles are always the first to leak and have the pirated copies out running well before it's even the release date.Deniable_Ops

Neither. One copy pirated =/= one lost sale. Many people would not have gotten the game if it wasn't for free. In other words - basic concepts of demand, the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

If 50k people were willing to buy a game, and 30k people would only ever get the game if it's free, then all piracy does is perhaps causing only 45k people buying the game instead of 50k, while 35k would pirate. That doesn't mean that all 80k people would have bought the game if there was no piracy!

The fact that PC versions of games tend to have lower sales is not dominated by the presence of piracy. The primary causes are in fact effort and DRM. The less effort the devs put into a PC port, obviously the poorer sales they will get despite how they wish otherwise, and the more intrusive the DRM the less appealing the port will be to gamers (while giving them more incentive to pirate a DRM-free version).

Witcher 2 for example has NO DRM, and the PC version of BF3 is not just a cheap port. If piracy truly dominates the sales of a PC version, then those two games wouldn't have sold nearly as gloriously.

To be honest I think you two know that the PC version hasn't been pirated yet but you know we can't prove you wrong because links are prohibited, so you just say that it has.

[QUOTE="Deniable_Ops"][QUOTE="-Unreal-"] Neither has the PC version.-Unreal-

don't worry, he's the one who's making a claim, therefore he's obligated to prove his claim. you're not obligated to disprove his claim with evidence that will get you into trouble.

[QUOTE="Deniable_Ops"] What are you talking about? Its been up for download even longer than the 360 version... and don't give me that "bu- bu- but they can't play it for a few days!!" garbage. There's a reason why there aren't that many big-budget PC exclusives anymore...Deniable_Ops

"Hacker forums" also gave me a chuckle. Yes, you're full of porky pies.

[QUOTE="pelvist"]

[QUOTE="Deniable_Ops"] Google search says otherwise, hacker forums are already discussing it, you are starting to resemble a small child with his fingers in his ears who doesn't want to believe reality and wants this all to be a dream, you wonder why PC software sales are so low?

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

lol and the pc version has been up for about a week and a half... and the developer pcversion was released like 6 weeks ago on torrent...

WilliamRLBaker

The PC version is not out yet, nice try though :lol:

MW3 did, but Skyrim you can't pirate yet, xbox360 you can.

um...the pc version of skyrim full retail has been up on torrent for about a week now but since one cannot post proof here since its a TOS violation I leave it up to you to look for it *you wont you'll just say but it hasn't been pirated yet* and the pc developer version was torrented about 6 weeks ago.

Having just checked the comments on the worlds largest site, it seems that 360 Skyrim is the only real one.

Edit: Or that the PC one does'nt work at least. I'm not going to check for obvious reasons.

Why would you pretend that the PC version is leaked just to strengthen the arguement that PC gaming is piracy ridden? It's really pitiful. Everyone here knows the PC version hasn't been pirated yet. MW3 has though, but no one playing it, only the Xbox360 players are.

Rather funny that you litterally use the word "demonize" when you're of the conviction that PC piracy is a much larger issue and at the same time take offense to the notion that 360 is the first victim to piracy in certain cases.

When did I say PC gaming is piracy ridden? I have never denied that Consoles suffer from Piracy, my argument is that Console gaming doesn't suffer from it nearly as badly as PC gaming does, so when I see this thread that has been created purely to demonize the Consoles and divert attention away from the PC's issues, I have to question your audacity TC.Deniable_Ops

PC sales numbers are low for a reason (which is false,) and PC gets no big-budget exclusives anymore (which is also false.)

The Wii and 360 were not far behind PC's numbers last year. Now that the PS3 is cracked, it'll likely match or exceed PC.

This doesn't make a damn bit of difference in the real world. We all know that we're (or at least most of us are) going to be buying a legitimate copy or DD as soon as it is out on the street, regardless of whether we pirated it or not. By the way don't pirate it because they say it's naughty (not that I really believe that)...

[QUOTE="Deniable_Ops"][QUOTE="GhoX"] Neither. One copy pirated =/= one lost sale. Many people would not have gotten the game if it wasn't for free.

He's right, 1 pirated copy doesnt equate a 1 lost sale. Thankfully he didn't say buying used is a lost sale. LOL that would have been ridiculous because you could use the same argument on piracy for used games.

On topic: I don't understand this whole idea of trying to prove which has the most piracy consoles or PC. Piracy is piracy, its on all platforms. It doesn't matter if there are more gas station robberies or bank robberies, stealing is stealing.

What happened there is they jumped on the console bandwagon hoping to pull in COD sales figures and ended up selling less on THREE platforms than the first one did on ONE platform ( the PC ). So what happened there? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep more damage control, I expected no less.

Skyrim is already being pirated and from what i have see it is 8GB.............on the XBOX.
