Well its only few more months before the best version of the game comes out, just hope it doesnt land on the same week as xcom2.

Well you obviously want to focus on the markets where you potentially make money, that is NA and EU, Japan is out of reach for non Japanese company that's obvious. Chinese paying for games/xbl? dont think so. I doubt south america has huge amount of people paying for online either and same with africa.

Well w/o exclusives consoles would be out of business very fast, they are required to keep em alive.

Only sad cows are happy about it

I see few cows have arrived to bask in the glory, welcome!

I don't think it comes to anyone as surprise that it's the chinese who are most active on the cracking department and will continue to be so, they dont pay for games, either they get em for free or they don't play them, just see about every game that has had an chinese export version made, all f2p. As you know they pirate and fake what ever they possibly can and will continue to do so. I'm not saying they are the only cause of piracy in the gaming industry but they sure are one of the biggest factors and no you wont get rid of 'em.

As I don't know the costs developers are paying for Denuvo it's hard to say if's profitable or not. Sure not being able to play the game right after launch might encourage some people to actually pay for the game, mostly not. Then there's those who feel it's ok to pirate it at launch and buy it from sale.

Piracy also hurts mainly singleplayer games, PC tends to have a lot more games focused on multiplayer compared to console platforms, does piracy play a part in that? maybe a little, mainly it's the far easier networking solutions available on the platform.

Judging by the butthurt the timed exclusivity seems to cause, I'd say MS got their moneys worth.

That does look amazing, holy crap. Still not buying it tho!

When you have the capital you also have the ability to help those departments of your company that need more support, you have seen MS do this exact thing before.
