PC Developers are going to the consoles for a reason. It's all bout money.
Yes.
They can charge more for games, micro transactions, and they get more revenue
Yes.
cause not every Tom, Dick and Harry with a little intelligence and and knows how to use Torrents, is stealing their game.
No. That has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with the fact that on a console, you can create a piece of shovelware in 6 months, release it, and the mouthbreathing console horde will buy 800,000 copies. On the PC, to sell 800,000 copies you have to make a really really good game.
So devs see that and go "Hmmm. I could make money by working for 6 months, or I could make money by working for 3 years. I'm going console baby!"
And that's it. Console games get pirated massively too, and no developer on a console ever whines about it. We've had piracy on the PC for as long as we've had games on the PC, and nobody ever really whined about it.
But now that devs feel that they HAVE to spend 50 million dollars on a game with ultra-realistic graphics, they figure they don't want to do all the work anymore.
So they go console, and release shovelware crap. Maybe Cevat will get lucky and Microsoft will sign him to the next Halo? Then he can regurgitate 3 games worth of textures and "gameplay", sell 8 million copies, continue pirating software himself and be happy.
Granted it's great to see companies like StarDock not have DRM, but at the same time, StarDock has a very niche genre.
Why the fuck does that matter? Here's what's important : Stardock MAKES MONEY. Their games are PROFITABLE. Even considering the fact that they provide absolutely insane levels of after-sale support. They've overhauled Galciv's graphics engine TWICE now. FOR FREE. And guess what? They're STILL PROFITABLE.
What Stardock is doing is the way to go. Not what EA and Cevat Fucking Yerli are doing. Niche game or not, Brad Wardell isn't whining about pirates because he made a game that didn't run on anyone's machine, and couldn't buy the six Ferraris that he wanted.
