PC gamers are not exactly easy to please. Not if you also want to actually have any incentive for people to buy the games.
I'm not that hard to please. Make a good game. Let me buy it online for a sane price. Don't make me wait for the game to be released in my region. Allow me to download it as often as I like. Don't limit number of installations (within reason, max 10 a day is fine). Don't require computer to ever connect again to keep playing once installed. Offer support (especially forums); preferably to customers only. Actually support the game post-release. If you sell on Steam, don't let them use their 1:1 USD to Euro conversion ratio, it's an insult.
so, basically you want near infinite support in terms of people and resources and pay next to nothing for it.
yeah.
thats the problem with all the pirates on this board, they only ever consider one side of the coin, not the fact that these things actually cost MONEY. Ummm, its not all about you, there are employees, shareholders, infrastruture and many other costs to consider. A transaction is a two way street, both sides must clearly benefit for it to be worthwhile, not just YOU!
i know, shocker right?
for all you boneheads that feel that they are being ripped off and that all the game companies are flush with your hard-earned cash, do me a favor:
1. take a course on corparate finance
2. check the 5y stock performance on any large game company
i.e
http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=ERTS#symbol=ERTS;range=5y
http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=UBI.PA#symbol=UBI.PA;range=5y
3. get a f....ing clue.
If you feel that they are not using your money wisely, just dont buy the game, BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU ANY MORAL HIGH GROUND TO JUSTIFY STEALING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE IS NO CREDIBLE ARGUMENT THAT SUPPORTS YOUR STEALING OF A GAME, NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why arent there many innovative games from smaller publishers (PC only) BECAUSE THE BUSINESS MODEL CAN'T SUPPORT IT ANYMORE! There is no viable margin with the current PC piracy rates. EVERY FRAKING CEO/CIO has pretty much said the same thing, but apparently the pirates on this board like yourself, jerykk and NiN are all smarter than they are.
BTW. Don't limit number of installations (within reason, max 10 a day is fine). WTF? I have a network at home with 3 PCs and 2 laptops. I have only hit the install limit on any game maybe 3 times. I just called their support line and they quickly reset the limit for me.
10 a day? can you spell P-I-R-A-T-E ?
Grrrr |
