So they won't bring Super Streetfighter IV to PC, but seem quite happy to publish Dead Rising 2 on PC (Via Steam), which has already been massively pirated on xbox360 well before it's Console release date. :rolleyes:

wow not only are you arrogant but you're also clearly deluded aswell....bravo bravo.

I'm arrogant because I corrected your English? How would you know you were making a mistake?

It's not an excuse,ssf4 sold well on the consoles because it is a good game and people DID buy it, oh and it's what reviews are for moron....absolutely ZERO need for piracy whatsoever. so stop making excuses.

No, it really is an excuse, haven't you noticed how often they like to cry about "piracy".

Ugh *cringe*

PIRACY
1.
practice of a pirate; robbery or illegal violence at sea.

ROBBERY
1. criminal law the stealing of property from a person by using or threatening to use force

simple robbery
Robbery that does not involve any aggravating factors

You're calling me deluded, yet come out with that? Where exactly is "copyright infringement" in that little list of yours? Did you purposefully misquote the dictionary, or did you not understand what you were reading?

"PIRACY
1.
practice of a pirate; robbery or illegal violence at sea."

You see where it says "at sea", that would mean they're talking about "Sea Pirates", you know "Yearg! Ay matey" not copyright infringement. The rest of your list is a load of BS, and doesn't "back up" your claims that copyright infringement piracy is the same as robbing or stealing, get real here, you're going on about being deluded and arrogant then come out with this nonsense. The definitions you give prove you wrong. :confused:

Seems your brain and arrogance are in the same place......your arse.

What? How old are you? :confused:

They do a lot to stop pirates but they can't win as they screew the paying customer over with DRM etc, you're full of fail.....

No they can't win, so why are you advocating their wasting of time by implementing DRM that doesn't work? Piracy is the "immigrants" of the gaming industry, blame everything you can on it, when if you looked at what they're actually saying, you'd realise it's just BS excuse after BS excuse. You can't call *facts* being deluded, as most of what I've said is based on what games devs themselves have said. How can you take anyone seriously that claims second hand games is piracy? :rolleyes:

Don't be surprised when you start to see some games devs (Activision, EA) demanding multiple licenses for multiplayer games, and claiming that if you play a game you yourself haven't explicitly paid for, then you're "stealing".

"Fifa 2015, £40 single player, £80 2 players, want to play online? £10 please a month, what, you want the content that was cut from the game to churn out as DLC? £10 please, you don't like it? WELL YOU'RE A THIEF, STOP STEALING OUR GAMES"

Nothing will stop pirates. However PS games arent the only thing pirated, as you can read in this thread the 360 version of the game is pirated much more.

Music gets pirated, so should record companies stop selling CD's? Movies get pirated so should the movie industry ban selling movies on DVD?

You cant stop piracy. It doesnt matter what platform and what type of media, there will always be people who want to pirate. But just attacking the PC gaming industry because of piracy on that platform is ridiculously stupid when the PC already has DRM methods and Steam to reduce piracy, yet there is absolutely nothing done to try and prevent piracy of other platforms and media.
