If piracy was so bad, how come Epic is still around, eh?
EPIC FAILURE... from a different perspective. I mean, the Unreal engine has kept them alive all this time with a few modifications tossed in here and there. I can almost hear Steve Jobs in the background asking "By the way, what have you done that's so great?"
Yeah. The GoW franchise is a COMPLETE FAILURE. right back at ya.
Their POINT is that dollar for dollar you get more back on your INVESTMENT developing on the console. It is a BUSINESS DECISION. Your hobby is not their fucking charity.
Anyone who thinks only suck games fail or lose money due to piracy is either being disingenuous or is an idiot. Pick one. The best games are pirated the most. Sure. Pack rats will torrent anything with an installer, but the big titles are the one that move the most bits.
I concur with the folks that they just need to move to Steam. Shiny discs in a box are dead.
