Only PC games get pirated thats why devs are releasing after the consoles because people would just pirate the PC version and not buy the game. Would love to hear CliffyB say that now.

To play a pirated game on an Xbox, you must void your warranty, install hacked firmware, and buy dual layer disks. To pirate a game on the PC, you click Play.

I think that Bethesda made a mistake by not producing a demo. I know I would feel a lot happier spending a chunk of cash on a game if I had a chance to play it first. They have produced a lot of promo materia, but watching a video of someone else playing fragments of a game just doesn't cut it.
So in this case I'd probably head down the "I'll download it and try it...if it is as good as the hype I'll buy it" path.

You don't just click play for pirated games on PC's, you need to have at least a little knowledge of files, mounting, where to go to get them in the first place etc. Its good to finally see a 360 game pirated as opposed to PC always taking the blame for the spread of Piracy.

Modding your 360 and to buy dual layer discs, well theres hundreds of online retailers who sell them.

Oh and by the way so y'all know, Im not saying Piracy is good at all.

Well how do you play HL2 if you dont have a steam account? Because im sure you have to logon and use a game key to unlock the game. But yes pirates always, and i meen ALWAYS find a way.

PC is alot easier to pirate than the 360. With pc you download an iso fil and then mount it using software, the game rips supply all the s**t to make it work. But the 360 pirating may not be cheaper either, For exmaple Dual layer dvds are still quite expensive

Either way this is wrong. I think it is about time that devs event something by now to tackle this problem. If pirates can find a way then im sure hired programmers can.

I think stealth is right games cost to much just say 1,000,000 people buy the game at 50 pounds each thats 50,000,000 and how much do you think they put in to making the game? Hmmm.

RecoN, just a question: If the pirates on the PC want to keep the downloaded game, don't they have to buy DL DVDs too if the game's too big? Just wondering you know...
And no, pirating on the PC isn't a lot easier, just visit a torrent site and read all the whining comments about how to make the game work, it's pretty amusing. :)

Ok this is my last response as im not supporting piracy and it does sound like im giving away tips, well im not im just stating its that easy to get a pirate game.

You dont need DL dvds, a basic external hdd (for mobile access), iso image on your pc (continous use), or even shirnk the files to a normal size dvd. You can use Dl, but i have never had to use them to back up my windows or my own games. If i wanted to, i can give my neighbour 20 top games and have they all working within 2 hours max.
As for torrent users, most of them dont have there rig setup to handle such installs and files etc. Me i honestly never had a prbolem running my backup games or files. Il swear to that aswell :)

But its not clever doing piracy. People think yes i saved 60 quid on games, when you actually have cost a company thousands and probably a sequel to that top end game you like so much. I mean yea it was kool at first but now its getting serious and from my own experience i plead to anyone who does DL games to think twice about the effects to the industry.

Woolworths, ASDA, Morrisons, Tesco, and even WHSmith have stopped selling PC games int he actual shops now. I had to drive 14 miles to the nearest GAME shop. Its damaging the gaming scene far to quickly.
