You are a complete idiot.
PKC, this is pretty much exactly what I believe you and I were talking about in the gaming forum a few weeks back - and though people are more than welcome to bring up other media, the fact of the matter is that PC gaming is perhaps the realm most significantly affected by piracy (as clearly indicated by the decline of all non-MMO PC game sales over the course of the last 5 to 10 years).
Unfortunately there has been a fundamental paradigm shift in the way people spend their money on media, and that attitude is best represented by the "I should be able to try it all before I buy it all" mindset (a very, very new aspect of consumer habits). This is far more damaging to PC games for a few reasons:
01. You can't rent PC games.
02. There is no PC game radio, club, live show, live set, etc.
03. There is no PC game TV channel.
...
And one could go on and on about the differences between PC games and other media people try to compare it to. At the end of the day it's incredibly easy for most pc gamers to pirate the software they wish to play, a fact that is aided by the general tech savvy nature of PC gamers. So people can piss and moan about how the record industry is dying, people don't go to movies anymore, etc. - but in the end there is no better example of what damage the attitude of piracy can do than the PC game industry. |

I'm talking about the fact that you don't seem to have a clue what you're talking about.
Though I guess you're probably right, the number of game studios closing their doors and the complete dropoff in PC game sales probably isn't losing anyone any money - how dare they complain.
Thank you for opening my eyes, I can't believe I was so wrong.

u have no point...all I see is crying and a sad attempt to sound informed. Maybe u work at EB games, and your worried about cut-backs? No, it must be RJT has the solution to the gaming worlds problems, and we all should bow down to ur wealth of knowledge. That must be it. Please enlighten me more. |
