THQ Director Blames Piracy for Iron Lore Closure [Mar 03, 2008, 10:06 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
GamesIndustry.biz reports on a post on the
Quarter
To Three Forums by THQ director of creative management Michael Fitch venting
his frustrations with the state of PC gaming following the closure of Iron Lore
Entertainment (story). The lengthy post outlines concerns about
rampant piracy, how Titan Quest's reputation suffered when pirates reported
crashes (which were caused by failure to properly crack the game's DRM),
complaints about hardware vendors creating compatibility issues, stupid users
and bad reviewers. He concludes trying to look at the bright side: "Alright, I'm
done. Making PC products is not all fun and games. It's an uphill slog,
definitely. I'm a lifelong PC gamer, and hope to continue to work on PC games in
the future, but man, they sure don't make it easy."
yawn, another Blues topic full of morons trying to justify piracy
everytime I read crap like these comments I can't but think PC fanboys who rather steal their games and then fill forums with their dumb excuses deserve all the shit that's going on with the PC as a gaming platform, the sooner it "dies" the better (and with "die" I mean "the only games that will remain are stuff you freaks won't play because you're above it - like The Sims - or can't play because you can't run pirated copies 100% - like WoW ") - in before "but we don't want that big budget crap anyway"... have fun
(and On Topic, yes he was ranting and yes he wasn't clear in some points and overexaggerated others, the THQ man makes a few good points)
