Check out my thoughts on why pirating in this industry is one of the worst things that can happen.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
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.
Just because I pirate something doesn't mean I'm not going to buy it.
Lol awesome comment, because I pretty much covered all of what you said in my article which you seem to not have read.
You're just thinking about yourself, and I bet you're the same guy who thinks it's sad when game studios shut down, yet you are slowly but surely contributing to it.
You know back in the day we bought games without demos and they still sold a lot. We used things like reviews, previews, word of mouth, our friends house, renting, and waiting for sales. Hell a vast majority probably still do.
Did EPIC comment why they did no PC version demo? Do you really not own a PS3 or 360 at this point? If you're a PC only gamer maybe it's time to branch out if you keep saying you ARE a gamer. Sticking to just PC means you miss out on a lot of awesome games, and starts to spawn fanboy idealisms just like a PS3 only owner or 360 only owner can.
Say you don't own a PS3/360...you're broke as hell and are only a PC gamer. Do you really have no friends that have no 360's or PS3's to stop at their house to socialize while you give the demo a whirl? People used to go to other peoples houses to game too, but seems that's forgotten as well.
The fact is if you pirate, no matter you reasoning, you are stealing. End of story. If you ARE one of the people who DOES buy the game everytime even though you pirate, then fine whatever...and to that one guy out there who is doing that you rock. Everyone else is stealing and needs to stop trying to cover themselves up like they can do no wrong.
Because its free. duh.
But yeah I find pirating games to be too much of a hassle, especially for consoles. Music on the other hand is pretty quick and easy to download so I tend to do that a lot more because Itunes prices are pretty unfair. Games may be expensive when they first release but they come down in proce fast and are more than worth it once they hit 30$ and below.
