"Pirates" are neither broke nor have any doubts about any quality. We KNOW quality of most modern game sucks, or new games are full of lags and bugs, so we refuse to waste 50 bucks for an average-to-bad game. For example, games like red alert 3 and GTA4 suck badly, and are way worse than their predecessors. Thanks to all those needless renovations (in style and gameplay), most of which serve as a means against piracy. For instance, GTA4 is heavily protected in such a large scale, that its graphics run slower than normal, and if you crack it it plays "normally". Personally i have bought MANY original retails, and putting aside only a handfull of them, all others were not worth the fortune i wasted. Piracy rules, and all others saying otherwise are either hypocrites, or haven 't tried this "craft" yet. Or they simply are some lousy aristocrat *******s that can afford a million dollars for games, while 3 people out of 10 out there die of starvation. Peace.
And something else. Half of you in this page also use piracy too, and most of you accusing it do so in fear of good games and companies running out of money and stop releasing nice games. Or because you are related perhaps to the economic progress of aforementioned companies/the pc gaming industry. Wearing masks and playing roles is the ultimate craft of humankind, after all. Everyone loves free stuff. Proof? The many torrent sites that house millions of members or leechers worldwide. But most games are no lifers too. Download the game, and spend your money out, with a GF, or with your friends. IF you have any, that is... Nerds.
Simple solution, make a kick-ass demo to really give potential consumers a feel for the game. I'm sick and tired of seeing either NO DEMO'S at ALL for games, or half shit ass ones that actually make me NOT want to buy the game.
A demo is such a damn important promotion tool, stop spending all your damn money on PR and stupid "adver-torials" in magazines and editorial support/sponsorship money...
MAKE A DAMN GOOD DEMO INSTEAD!
The best promotional tool is social networking promotion by making one kick ass demo and letting it go rampant with major influencers in the pc gameing scene...
I dont even play PC games because of this... why spend 1000$+ on a half decent PC when i can spend 400$ on a PS3 that can contend with a 4000$+ PC, not to mention in only 2 years of it being released it has over 200+ titles, xbox has well over 400+ now!
