My schoolwork has been dragging me down quite a bit, what with all the homework as well. I'm also failing Chem! :D
Anyways, been on and off for my games. There's a lot of games I certainly want this and next year, but I'll have to cut most of them and make some tough choices soon.
Also, there is the controversy about piracy on the PC, that its killing the platform. Well, a user has kindly thrown some facts:
-If you make a really good game, people won't pirate it. Especially if it has no copy protection (i.e. Oblivion)
-Putting copy protection (Sign the anti-SecuROM petition on the blog below) will only serve to have people pirate your game more.
-Just make it so that the game is literally worthless if you pirate it! A good example of this is Sins of a Solar Empire, which includes only singleplayer and LAN in the pirated version, without all the goodies that came with the real version. How the devs did it, I don't know, but it's one hell of a smart way that bigger developers should learn to do.
-Use digital distribution! Yes, you all might know that I hate Steam. However, I am not a hater on it's practicality and usefulness. It's there, people, so use it!
