The economy is in the toilet and the oil companies are soaking up all the profits.. I'm surprised it's not worse!
Maybe if they lowered game prices, they would have a reversal of fortune?
Oblivion was pirated all to the hell for the PC, and they STILL SOLD WELL.
Why? because it was a great game period.
My God, why is the answer always piracy is hurting our game sells.
It's simple.. It's a prelude to the next generation of copy protection and DRM!
I think it's just that DMC series is a "console" type game. Now, if they were to release Resident Evil 5 on PC?? Hells yeah!

they did 4 and it was so much fail...
Any more damn DRM and I will lose it. It is a pain in the butt to have to deal with, and the only people that suffer are the ones who buy it. I have to download a no-DVD crack for all of my games to use them, and to hell with that well you should use the dvd in the drive. The game don't use it, it just spins up to say I am a disc and then that is it, you can even take it out after that. When you give up so much HDD space for these games you shouldn't have to insert a disc on top of it.
My god are developers really this stupid? Quit trying to reinvent the wheel. When a company comes up with a good model of how to do business and how to cut back on piracy, contact them and use there model. Steam has done a great job from what I can see. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me, their easy sign in is great. Also Relic has a decent model on Company of Heroes, but to bad the lobby is terrible.
Personally. I wish every developed followed Stardock's example. Stardock needs to publish a major multi-million dollar mega hit with no copy-protection at all on it and shove it in EA and 2K's faces. Not to mention Sony DADC.
One thing I find quite funny is this notion of the PC being a heaven for pirates when I have seen first hand people with bucket loads of pirated games on the PS1, PS2, Xbox and 360. Piracy is all around, I wish they would bring light to that. But they won't because they want justification for selling out to consoles. Lazy bastards!
Lets not forget the PSP. I swear that thing has more piracy than the PC. Though CFW is great.
Anyway: Piracy has been around as long as we've had the ability to share files. Be it on a floppy, on a CD, or on the internet. Its not going anywhere. Nothing is going to stop it, ever. One day even the PS3 will be cracked. Publishers need to realize this. The sooner they do the better off we will all be.
It is just part of doing business. Only we get boned the most, we can't take back crappy products like other things and we don't ever get good down-loadable content!
Don't even joke about that. SecuROM is bad enough. Whats next an unholy marriage of SecuROM and Starforce with some good ol' Sony Rootkits thrown in for good measure?

You mean like Bethesda did with Oblivion?
oblivion was in insult to it's former fanbase?
oblivion felt more like daggerfall to me.. whereas i couldn't stand morrowind. i loved daggerfall..hell i still play it on my laptop occasionally.
I see more people with priated x box and psp...etc games than I do pc games.
I also dont know about what everyone else pays for games but, I for one usually wait till a game drops to 29.99-39.99 via sale or age to buy it. I almost never pay full price for them.
It felt like an insult to me. The a fore mentioned console-ities got to it pretty bad.
gotcha, i can't completely argue, i modded the hell out of it before i even played it. So it probably fixed some of it at least
Yeah. Its great with mods. Its unplayable to me without them. Shivering Isles is one of my favorite game expansion packs though. Its so much fun. Lack of a horse is really, really, sickening though.
Depends on the game. Some I get right away, some I wait for. I'm waiting for Valve to have another 50+% off everything on Steam sale. I'm going to go buy crazy if I can afford to. I got V:tM, Psyconauts, X3, and STALKER during the last one.
(GRRR EDIT) they want to sell more of the pc version RELEASE THE DAMN THING WHEN THE CONSOLE VERSION IS RELEASED
Remember the $5 Prey deal on Steam a few weekends back? I haven't even downloaded it all yet. but I still bought it. Games like RE5 I wouldn't care anymore about the PC version. I am a dying hardcore PC gamer due to my "new" plasma tv and xbox360. The only games that I get interested enough to actually buy on the PC are FPS's. RE5 on the PC will sell shit if they do the same thing they did with DMC4. Why would I wait to play on a smaller screen and questionable performance?
With consoles actually being pretty damn powerful and competitive in that area, publishers and developers alike need to notice the effects of market saturation with comparable console versions of games they plan to release on the PC. Plus I bet a really good amount of people who "warezed" DMC4 for PC actually has the console version sitting with the rest of their PS3/360 games.
