On a similar note, I know of a few people that pirate games and play them, and if the game turns out to be good, or when the gamer gets money, they buy a copy to support the game.
Not true, if it takes long enough to crack, then people will just get fed up and go out and buy the game, took a while for mass effect to be cracked so players could get past a certain point. I imagine others games have been like this too.
You basically want as complicated DRM as possible, without having an install limit.
Either way it's a decent step and like previously they will sell well if not better. In fact I about guarantee it will sell better. Unlike these so called "pirates" above, if they knew anything they'd tell you that online play is Sacreds attraction and most if not nearly all online games can not be pirated. They usually have a database of legit serials.
Their way you've gotta know a guy who owns it already. Why would he not just loan you the disc for a week or two when he's done with it? Unless they limit the number of installs, which would be the Fort Knox scenario the PR guy mentioned.
Yeah I'd like to report coddled gamers who are just asking for too much and expect it to be something that doesn't take long/takes no effort/they deserve somehow, it seems their parents didn't teach them that SHIT HAPPENS and sometimes you don't always get what you want.
It's DRM guys, get over it. Seriously if you hate it so much go grab a console. Fuck.
The majority of games pirated are done so on an almost rental basis. At least when I was in Uni in the good ol days.
You'd download a game, play it, and 9 time out of 10, never play it again.
It's good they're cutting out the middle man.
Had HL2 done that, I wouldn't have plonekd down hard cash for that pile of !!*&#!!!
