|
 |
Suppose the game industry started to release all the big titles, and all the MMORPG's (+monthly fees) at half price (in todays price range) but at the "price" of having lots and lots of commercials all over the games (such as commercial logos and messages while loading, et cetera). Would this make you more likely to stop pirating? [/b]
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

If games were like 35$US...i'll buy way much more but console games are the worst.

EA believes they will retain the current price, and I believe Ubisoft and some other major publishers will go with that because of greed. Epic on the other hand has repeatedly said that lowering video game prices by $10 is the way to go.
But I have to say, if games were cheaper, I would buy a lot more of them.

Serious sam 1 was cheap , did ppl stop pirating it ?
I think you got your anwser .
I bet starforce made ppl buy more games already . If you want to stop pirating , make starforce even stronger .
Now i already see many telling me starforce is easy to bypass but what they cant understand is that most ppl who donwload starforce game wont even understand how to run starforcenightmare . Most ppl dont even know what is a exe .
Now for those who know how the thing is working , i believe a minaurity , they wont buy all the game they pirate . Lets say i donwload 20 games this years , how many of them i would buy if pirating was not possible?
1 or 2 ?
Its the same for everybody .
Now what are those 2 games?
CIV4 and AFTERSHOCK , all other i already buy them to play mp .
Aftershock was good , but it was so buggy , they dont deserve my money .
As for civ4 , the mp was buggy as well .
They think 100 000 donwload = 100 000 copy sold .
This is BULLSHIT .
I say 100 000 donwload = 1000 copy sold without pirating .
I bought many games in the last 5 years , like 20 i think .
I think 50% of them was full of bug and shit .
It was a time i was saying pirating was lame for the game industry now i just think they can go fuck themself with their games full of bug .
I think 80% of games are full of bugs and shit these day , we allways need to wait for their retarded patch that wont change much anyway .
Fuck the game industry , fuck the police and fuck the fucking ria , hack them all .

I have to disagree with you, more and more poeple start to refuse buying StarForce games. Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is the best example. Whatever poeple can say SCCT is one great fuckin game and look at his price now...19.99$ for the collector edition and the game is 9 months old.
3 weeks ago, when i went at Ubisoft to test some features for Ghost Recon AW, they asked me if i liked it and if i will buy it, i told them "if its protected by SF3...then NO!!!" and they give me the look like im the only one who mentioned that.

Everybody that whine all around about starforce is the pirate themself .
If you dint buy a game because of starforce , sad for you , you wont play it and your the only one .
Nobody beside you will not buy a game because of starforce .

I wont buy em!
And I wont even pirate em!
I don`t need any unwanted drivers on my system, where nobody can tell me what they actually do and I dont want my system fucked up by that shit.
People who use starforce games, buy sony cds as well I guess.
They can stick their shit up their asses - i don`t want it, i don`t need it!

Yea right , sure sure . I bet you'll be the first to use a starforce game when you will find a game that you really want to play .

I do think games should be sold cheaper, right from the day of release.
It pisses me off to think of how many games ive bought that were between $60-$80 bucks, only to see the same game being sold for $29.95 2 months later...such a fuckin rip
But still, I dont really "pirate" games. I'll grab the scene release to test the game out. If I like it, I'll go out and buy it. I like to support the dev's who make games I constantly play ie Total War games....
I dont play Shogun and Medieval anymore, but Rome and Barbarian Invasions are so worth the money. The replay value is unlimited...Ive played the shit outta both Rome and the expansion, and I still find myself wanting to spend a few hours conquering the world, everyday.
Same with the Civ's games...awesome replay value.

yeah but still, lower the price and more people will buy games then they do now
so everyone is happy
if they make buggy crap games cuz they know the price is lower then before, then they won't sell as much, and other developers and publishers will notice it aswell so they will make their product excellent, it's all about quality.

I got that game for free with my gfx card and didn't even install it thanks to starforce and there are a couple of games I was very interested in but did not end up buying because of that nasty protection.
I don't even install demos anymore until somebody confirms if the demo does or does not include starforce.
But I think that the uninformed people who end up buying the games because they can not copy it from a friend outnumber the informed people who specifically refuse to buy starforce games.
