"Make no mistake," said SEGA this week, "if one quarter of the people that usually pirate [Football Manager] switch to purchasing Football Manager 2012, the sales of the game worldwide would more than double." That was the eye-opening statistic used to justify Football Manager 2012 requiring Steam to play. In other words, more than 80 per cent of people playing Football Manager are doing so with a pirated copy.
The Outerhaven lists each and every upcoming Soulslike title that is either being released or supposedly being released in 2024. This list includes Another Crab’s Treasure, Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn, Phantom Blade Zero, and more.
Arrowhead Game Studios chief Johan Pilestedt revealed that Sony PlayStation doubled the development budget of Helldivers 2.
Which is pretty good that they supported them in making it a high quality game with more funding. Basically shutting up the complainers about Sony making a GaaS game. The GaaS game turned out well and doesn't bombard gamers with micro transactions and doesn't signal the death knell of single player gaming.
Same with Sony's online. Microsoft offered nothing for a decade when XBL started on the OG Xbox going past 360. Sony launched theirs and gave away games to play for subscribing to their service. More bang for your buck than what you paid in. A better way of doing it compared to what was before.
Now we see gamers complaining about AI. But maybe Sony will use AI correctly and do it right that benefits their company and their employees. We have to see the results before bitching and complaining.
And the beat goes on in this innovative shooter.
You know what I care so little about these big companies games getting pirated as alot of them still make loads don't get me wrong I'm a gamer and do care for the bigger devs just not as much...But when people crack and hack indie games and put them up for download thats wrong suppose to support the little fella theres not been a single indie dev Ive spoke to that has not replied to me like a human being that just loves what his doing and will do his best to help you out if your facing difficulties using his stuff...the bigger companies on the other hand...
Piracy is pretty bad, games are cracked and on torrents before release date.
Its really bad you can get cracked copies of anything
The whole problem is exaggerated. Good games will sell. Mediocre games will get pirated and then uninstalled.
I don't care about piracy. Pirating movies is the same as pirating games. Piracy helps people try games befor they buy them also
