Are you complaining?bangai-o said:
Is this guy legit retarded or something? Does he think people who steal games are actually going to feel any shame whatsoever when Crytek tries to lay a guilt trip on them? They can't even see these fucking people. It would be a snippet in some article with a quote about it. You can't get much more removed from a situation than that.
These Apsy videogame writers better stop trying to predict human emotions.

Getting paid to do what I currently do for free on GAF would be kinda neat, yeah
It simply reinforces the notion that the gaming press is littered with a bunch of know-nothing-retards.
Some one should tell these peeps that the money (minus Nintendo) ain't being made on the console side. Developers who choose a certain direction have issues of their own doing.
But, hey, I guess the successful PC developers should ditch profitability and go to a market that will bankrupt them within 5 years (at least there's less piracy).

The person taking the picture, I suppose. Of course, maybe the guy set up a timed shot and jumped in the tub in time for the picture to go off, forgetting to take his shirt off. The other glass was to hold the rest of the 7up._Bro said:
There, all the questions answered.

If this is a troll, why did he backpedal like a pussy?Misterinenja said:
i understand why you don't want to give what you see as a troll article clicks, and those parts paint a bad picture, but i'd like to see the whole thing so i can respond properly and i can't find it on the destructoid home page.
shaking my head at the appearance insults though. for example just looking through to find the story i found shit like this as a picture for a story by jim, and given what a terrible tabloid website destructoid normally is there is enough for you to attack without going low and being a dickhead about it.

Good thing I never gave that piece of crap of a site a single hit. It's sad that even some journalists and gamers themselves are starting to become like publishers: focusing on profits of titles instead of their quality.

Heh, if you want to greatly increase your Steam games total go pick up some Telltale games. Steam registers each episode as its own game. I have about 25 games total added to my Steam total with the 5 Telltale titles I own.

If that is what's considered trolling these days, the cast of Jersey Shore are the biggest trolls ever.
Troll is the worst word to hit the internet. It's overused and misused 95% of the time by people who want to fit in by regurgitating popular phrases they see on the internet.
Steam is the answer to PC piracy.
That's not because it has some amazing security; it doesn't.
But Steam (at least the games that really take advantage of it) is actually more convenient that piracy.
Steam downloads use my full pipe.
No game installs.
Cloud game saves and settings.
Integrated friends list.
Really good deals in the store.

So Sterling is trolling the PC again.

This is NeoGaf man. Let me bet that most people complaining in this thread aren't actually paying everything they should in order to get their entertainment. The only real rule that exist to me is that if someone makes a product of entertainment for you and SELLS it to you, you should therefore pay to enjoy it. Same thing as a pair of shoes you like in the store's glass. I think everything should have a demo though so people aren't basically pirating your game for trying it before buying.

That guy is such an uninformed shitbag, seriously. Does he not know that DD sales are not counted in those numbers?

That's a fairly biased analysis, especially considering he's only reporting on one country.

That nobody want respond.
A) One country.Sho_Nuff82 said:
B) Numbers don't include DD sales, which have been hovering about 50% on the PC and rising.
C) When a company spends its entire marketing budget on one platform, no shit the other platform is going to have lower sales.
D) No DX11 or graphical options caused many PC gamers to wait and buy later.
E) He implies money cannot be made on the PC. Crysis sold over 4 million copies on the PC only and is the reason why Crytek employs 800+ people across six studios worldwide.
Conclusion: Jim Sterling continues to confirm he is a boorish, ignorant twat of a blogger.

The article is full of bombast, but the underlying argument is intriguing:
1. There is way more piracy on PC than on consoles due to difficulty of console piracy.
2. There is a lot of overlap ownership between PC and consoles ownership.
3. Publishing only on consoles would still allow you to reach much of the same market while cutting down on some of the piracy.
I thought the store analogy is kind of a good one. If you opened a store in a location where even 15-20% of your merchandise was stolen, you would be crazy to stay at that location without changing something.
However this completely ignores Steam type validation services. So the argument perhaps should be "Companies should only release through Steam and not put out a physical PC boxed copy."
