Bulletstorm Sequel Cancelled; PC Piracy Mentioned

In spite of EA saying the original "under-performed," a sequel to Bulletstorm was in the works at People Can Fly before being cancelled by parent company Epic Games reports GameSpot, who hear from Epic president Mike Capps on the topic. Mike indicates they have put the Polish developer on a different project they will "be announcing pretty soon," though there is no clue if this is the recently revealed PC game Epic is planning. "We thought a lot about a sequel, and had done some initial development on it, but we found a project that we thought was a better fit for People Can Fly," he said. "We haven't announced that yet, but we will be announcing it pretty soon." He goes on to praise Bulletstorm and says he'd love to go back to the property, "but right now we don't have anything to talk about." Just to stir the pot a little, the story concludes with Capps' comment that sales of the PC version may have been harmed by piracy: "We made a PC version of Bulletstorm, and it didn't do very well on PC and I think a lot of that was due to piracy. It wasn't the best PC port ever, sure, but also piracy was a pretty big problem."

also, more people here need to fucking learn that when someone says "Probably" they are not stating a fact. Both sides keep saying "where do you get your numbers, douche" to shit that is clearly speculation.

Then don't be a douche? There's a difference between numbers that are likely accurate, but not backed up by hard facts, and numbers that are nothing but pure guesses. What you've done here is the latter.

Or, to put it differently, you can claim that 10% of the people who pirate games would buy them, and I could claim that 0.00001% of the people who pirate games would buy them, and there's no way either of us could be proven wrong. So why invent numbers in the first place? If you want to argue, you bring facts. If you want to speculate, well, fine, but don't expect anyone to take your argument seriously.

I'm not the only one people are doing it to. Others are putting their own speculation out there as discussion points. How about challenging it with your own speculation rather than stupidly acting like it's being stated as fact?

Not sure why speculation isn't taken seriously? Fake facts are worth tossing out, speculation is not. Speculation is meant to be debated. Fake facts are not. And it isn't like this board is a bastion of proper arguing - people LOVE to go 150% to one side rather than actually think clearly. Just look at how many people think Mike Capps said "PC piracy canceled Bulletstorm 2" when he never actually said that. He said low sales canceled Bulletstorm. He also said piracy lowered PC sales. He never said that without piracy the PC sales would be strong enough for a sequel. I mean, fuck, I don't get how anyone with a brain is reading it that way. We all know PC sales were expected to be a drop in the bucket and that PC sales do not make or break a console-oriented release. Capps is not saying that.
