It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
I'm really against software and movie piracy. I like to support the people behind a good movie or software. They deserve our support for the hard work and endless hours they put in. I'm a computer engineer and I kind of know what pulling an all-nighter at work is like. It's not anyone's idea of fun.
I understand, however, that as cost of entertainment increases, the number of people that shell our the money to buy games, etc. decreases. Not everyone can afford to buy every "must-buy" game for their beloved console anymore, and this brings up the interesting topic of piracy. Those that cannot afford every single game out there resort to piracy. However, my question is, if they were not going to buy a game in the first place, would it be really unorthodox to be able to simple pirate the game? Yes, people that don't support the developers at all should support them, but those that can't afford the game they want could, maybe, pirate the game? It's an interesting topic and I'd like if I could hear from some of you on this.
They learned their lesson from the PS1/PS2/PSP. However, if one man can make it, another man will surely break it in time. I'm kinda looking forward to it, not to pirate games but as anyone with custom firmware on PSP can tell you, there are some cool features and abilities to be had.
I imported a PS3 from the USA region 1 DVD and i live in Mexico Region 4 DVD, i cannot play a region 4 DVD in my PS3 but i can play any Pirated movie i want. Seriously, i have bought a bunch of movies that i cannot play, i had to go buy the pirated copy to make it work. So in some ways their system works but in others it just makes it counter productive.
I am just glad blue ray is the same region.
I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 never gets successfully hacked.
