Pirating increases the copies in circulation, so the devs are not rightfully paid for the amount of their product that is now circulating. Second hand only one person will be in possession of the game, someone had to initially buy the game which means the devs were paid exactly for the one copy.
I remember gfwl. I can't play RF Guerilla, gta 4 and a bunch of other games because they shut down the service.
Whatever makes you justify your purchase that the developers got nothing out of.
Did you forget to drink your daily dose of cum today?Fucking hell lads, just been sent another slide that Microsoft were considering using. Can’t believe how low they’re willing to go.
I never forget.
The developers did get something out of it? I'm not the one who is trying to justify exponentially ripping them off.
No matter if 1, 2 or 50 buys the game, the developers only got money for one.
The developer sold one copy, so one person is going to be in possession at any time. The person can sell their copy and will probably use the money to buy another game; This supports the industry as you keep the dollars circulating to the top. The cracker distributing the game is inflating the market and is essentially giving everyone the product for free.
We're never gonna agree, because I focus on wanting to support the devs, whereas you don't really give a shit if they get your money or not with your purchase.
and I said it they made it seem like they were going to go out of business, not that they would, read the whole statement lol.
It's funny right?! It's a MS IP and has been on game pass since it came out.
This was a deal with MS
is going to get worse the closer the deadline
This is just getting silly now. The deal need to close now so we can all be saved from cringe

"devs" don't get payed for individual copies sold.

Theyre going to kill gaming by being a monopoly. But when they make things multiplat it is like so cringe. My god.

That wouldn't be so cringeworthy if he was being genuine. It is only being said and highlighted like that due to what is going on right now, but if they stand by that even after the acquisition, with their **newly acquired** games (likely not), then you have to give them props! When this whole thing started, I thought that was the direction they were pushing for, but the longer this goes on, the fuzzier that is...well it was fuzzier since the conflicting messaging...

I mean, they have treated Minecraft like that since day 1. From day 1 they said they view Call of Duty like Minecraft. They acquired Minecraft a long time ago.
I may not remember this well, but when that was first announced, it was a condition by the creators of Minecraft, but even if it wasn't, what I was getting at was that they will be selective. It won't be for every title, and in a sense, I get that too but in my opinion, that would have been a bolder move by them to do it for every title. It would be even more disruptive than Game Pass itself.
I know. It’s so damn good that it needs to be posted at least 37 more times.Already posted lol
Haha, fair enough. Carry on!
Games are so popular on game pass that they’re invading PS+ Monthly. But that does seem to be the norm. Third party games go to game pass first, then eventually to the PS+ catalog.
They sure are. What's coming next?
Ghostwire TokyoThey sure are. What's coming next?
I don't think streaming is working the way they would need it to in order to be truly disruptive. So this is probably some kind of mix of all of their contingency plans.
Personally, I am hoping streaming does not take off for any of them lol. I am fine with it as an option, and hopefully it will stay that way. Anyway, what I was outlining is basically, where I thought they were going, but it's not as clear to me anymore what their plan is outside of just pushing for Game Pass aggressively.
My personal issue with all of these things is that if you go for it aggressively and get it most times companies have no idea what to do next.
Cloud will take off if future hardware availability continues the current trend. It has been close to impossible to buy a new generation console or Nvidia high end card during several years. Even today availability is spotty. Amazon in Spain, which is 100% Sonyland, has a waiting list for PS5. SeriesX stock is impossible to find in any store. Never ever seen one physically since launch. If the trend continues for next generation people will end up firing up their cloud games directly from their TV.
Cool party trick. Now do me. What am I thinking right now?
I can see it being the future, but it is not one I am looking forward to. I will likely adapt to it when the time comes. I think most will. But I hope it's not anytime soon!
