Though plans for a PC edition of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was previously confirmed by Ubisoft, PC Gamer has word that the next installment in the Ghost Recon series is for consoles only, and that PC gamers will get Ghost Recon Online instead, which is apparently Ubisoft's new approach to PC piracy following their almost universally despised always-on DRM. Here's word from Ghost Recon Online producer Sébastien Arnoult: We are giving away most of the content for free because there’s no barrier to entry. To the users that are traditionally playing the game by getting it through Pirate Bay, we said, ‘Okay, go ahead guys. This is what you’re asking for. We’ve listened to you – we’re giving you this experience. It’s easy to download, there’s no DRM that will pollute your experience.’
We’re adapting the offer to the PC market. I don’t like to compare PC and Xbox boxed products because they have a model on that platform that is clearly meant to be €60’s worth of super-Hollywood content. On PC, we’re adapting our model to the demand.
“When we started Ghost Recon Online we were thinking about Ghost Recon: Future Solider; having something ported in the classical way without any deep development, because we know that 95% of our consumers will pirate the game. So we said okay, we have to change our mind.
We have to adapt, we have to embrace this instead of pushing it away. That’s the main reflection behind Ghost Recon Online and the choice we’ve made to go in this direction.

This pirating to "decide whether you like it or not" is a pile of utter BS. Back when I was a teen I pirated the living shit out of every goddamn game I could get my hands on. If my parents weren't buying it, I pirated it and didn't look back.
What are you wussies shopping for, make-up? Games these days are average to shit, and once in a while great. We've all been playing long enough to know whether a game is decent from videos or aggravating reviews and user reviews. Buy it or fuck off.
I have the money to purchase games now. I have a simple delivery system like steam that delivers without needing to go to a store. I don't have the time to fuck with annoying cracks and nfo files. Don't tell me people who have the time to mess with ISO's and finding legitimate pirated copies are then somehow also putting money down and purchasing the titles.
I don't care if there is some exception at play here, that 5% of you actually do purchase after "demo'ing" the game - you're way in the minority.
It's a completely BS, and frankly idiotic, argument to make.
Just because you're a petulant little immature brat who grew up a thief doesn't mean everyone is as scummy and immature as you. Way to carry on the stereotype! |
