Ubisoft: EndWar PC Impacted by Piracy [Oct 08, 2008, 09:31 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Videogaming247 quotes Ubisoft Shanghai creative director Michael de Plater
on how piracy is a reason Tom Clancy's EndWar is appearing on consoles
first, with plans for a PC edition remaining vague (story). He
says this of a PC version of the voice-controlled RTS game: "To be honest, if PC
wasn’t pirated to hell and back, there’d probably be a PC version coming out the
same day as the other two," also saying: "You know, the level of piracy that you
get with the PC just cannibalizes the others, because people just steal that
version." He goes on to agree with dire predictions about the impact of piracy
on PC gaming: "But at the moment, if you release the PC version, essentially
what you’re doing is letting people have a free version that they rip off
instead of a purchased version. Piracy’s basically killing PC."
"And VGReagle, your attempt at being all holier-than-now with your inexplicable statement really only makes you sound like an arrogant prick, which in reality I'm sure you're not. Try to up the intelligence level a tad."
I will not up the intelligence level any. This is the internet buddy. People dont expect intelligence.
And another thing I never said I wasnt a pirate.
"That's like saying people eating at McDonalds affects Red Lobster across the street (they're two ENTIRELY different products sold to ENTIRELY different people. please don't get technical, this is a fact.)"
I suppose you think the comment above is "intelligent". I think that the food analogy is far fetched, probably becuase he is arguing against a point that in reality is true. The reason he is arguing, failure to admit he is a pirate and he wants to disenvow any involvement.
