Wired.com- If You Want To Fight Piracy, Make Better Games. Thanks nin.
Ubisoft’s plan isn’t working. Even after taking these drastic steps, the company says that 90 percent of the people who play its games are playing them illegally, according to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter.
But how many people only used piracy as a way to bypass the DRM? How many of those pirates might have purchased PC copies of games like Assassin’s Creed II if they could be played without an internet connection?

Steam encourages customers to buy games, share them with friends and compete online for achievements. For those players, it becomes more fun to buy games than pirate them.
I've loved Steam for a while now, but not until recently did I realize the fun in chasing a Steam friend's high score. I'd normally have no reason to go back and repeat a level I maxed in most games, but this morning, while playing Orcs Must Die, I looked up at the corner of the screen after finishing a level with 5 skulls (who da man!) and noticed those bastards Dev and Verno had even higher scores than I did for that level. I simply can NOT let that stand! |
