PCGA on Piracy

The interview with PCGA president Randy Stude on VideoGamer.com offer the full conversation that spawned Stude's criticism of LucasArts mentioned yesterday (story). Along the way, Randy offers further perspective on the hot topic of piracy, ripped, as it were from today's headlines (story), saying: "If you're taking a release date mentality, OK I'm putting anti-piracy protections that are pretty strong on console, pretty strong but not fool proof, and I'm waiting till the day I ship this thing off to the post-production house to put anti-piracy on say like a Fallout 3 or last year Hellgate London had an infamous piracy issue, if your product is not protected all of the way through production, you're going to be faced with the scenario where some guy sitting at the duplicator house, this is where all the piracy starts, the guy sitting at the duplicator house, back doors the code to a buddy or flat out sells it to make money off a torrent rip of the game, that's where the problem is." PC Gaming Alliance's Stude On The 'Urgent Imperative' Of Piracy on Gamasutra has further comments from Stude on the topic.
