You missunderstood me, i didnt say piracy is alright, but the fact that theres few quality games means the other game WERE NOT GONNA SELL ANYWAY, piracy just means a bunch of people played those game, but those SAME people would have otherwise NOT touched those games, so its NOT like those games lost any sales.
You're delusional if you think piracy doesn't hurt sales. Like Isomac says--why play a game that's not good, at all? If it's worth playing, it's worth buying. And there's plenty of quality games on the PC, fyi, they are just less releases in a given season/period than on consoles.

For gamedevelopers pricay hurts, no doubt, but I think hardwaremakers only gain from it.. They sell more when a console gets more popular among more people not having to buy expensives games but just the hardware..

I have no doubt Sony will start to sell more PS3's aswell by the time you can burn Blu-ray discs at low cost, and the PS3 is hacked to play "backups".. It's just a matter of time.. The Xbox 360 and Wii already are hacked and can play copies.. And last-gen, how many PS2's you think have been "chipped"? I think many millions..

Only thing that can save a game from piracy I think is online verification.. On PC they counter it with keys you need to play on official online servers (no serious gamer wants to play on hacked servers full of cheaters etc), on Xbox 360 it's countered by MS banning your ass from Xbox Live if cought running backups..

Nintendo has a hard time though, as most of the Wii games are all offline, so no real counter for them.. But the way Nintendo's hardware is selling, it doesn't hurt them much, if at all.. Like I said, it probably sells more hardware for them, same with the DS and it's R4 card..

Who cares, piracy has always been rife in the video games industry, I don't think its any worse now than it used to be, developers have managed before I'm sure they will continue too.

Perhaps this is the wrong attitude to have, but me worrying about it isn't going to change anything, all you can do is buy your games and do your bit.

Plus when I say buy your games I mean buy them brand new, because the 2nd hand gaming industry hurts developers just the same, and game stores are actually making money from that.

looks nice. lets hope the console versions look like that too.

i'm still not completely sold on the engine tho. mainly since the footage and stuff we've seen looks a lot like the doom 3 engine, a very bump map/normal map focused engine, which i've never been a huge fan of. it was impressive on the original xbox, but riddick just goes to show that on current gen consoles it doesnt impress all that much. at least imo.
