NVIDIA games boss Roy Taylor has said that he doesn't understand how PC gamers can justify stealing from their heroes like John Carmack, Tim Sweeney and. He believes that to combat piracy we will begin seeing more digital authentication and PC games won't be products but more of a service. ""You're going to start out with a basic service, which is the game, and then increase the value of that service through patches, mod packs, expansions, maps and so on. That's the direction it's going to go, because the pirates are just killing the developers - and I think it's really unfair, what they're doing." said Taylor.

Why? He basically said what Brad from Stardock has been saying.

"You're going to start out with a basic service, which is the game, and then increase the value of that service through patches, mod packs, expansions, maps and so on."

Isn't that what Stardock does??? Sins of a Solar Empire and Galciv2 for example.

They are really losing it, make better games (and you need some exclusive stuff for that and not just ports), don't release half-baked products with 12 patches to install, don't bother with intensive protection that will either slow down the system or hassle the costumers and you will see more sales, how complicated is that? Bunch of wankers, the lot of you!

Seems like you can pirate the xbox all you want and nobody seems to give a flying fuck, you pirate a pc game and you are a terrorist, unbelievable, it's all about the sales these days it seems, 1 million sold isn't enough for these bastards anymore they want 15 mil. like gta or something, once big money and business get in it gets ruined and corrupt just like football, it happens everytime.

Well, nVidia wouldn't want to blame developers for making games with steep requirements. After all, they're the ones who gain whether or not people pirate it.

Besides, what they really should be blaming are publishers. Developers don't lose money even if a game bombs since they're paid by the publisher anyway.

As i think of this particular case of 'piracy is bad for PC' syndrome,... isn't it the piracy in a certain way a good thing for the videocards manufactors ? They should not yawn about it... because actually as more and more games could be obtained for free for the PC gamers- as such offering a bigger variety of game choises, the bigger the need is for a decend hardware to actually be able to enjoy this 'free launch' is. And as we all know there is no way to pirate a 9800 (sniff Smile ).
And in the end it's all like -" oh how many games are on t3h N3t to download for free,so let's buy a decent card for them..". At least that's my logic Rolling Eyes

Sure you can:

Go to a hardware store, find yourself a nice new GeForce 9800 or 8800, and walk out off the store without paying.

Maybe the xbox its less pirtated because most guys are afraid to flash the bios because of live

If the xbox get a bootcd simple as the dreamcast without the risk of get banned of live maybe less people will be inclined to buy originals

i think it's good, better that than they quit making games for us... think about it, how would you feel if u made a game or a movie and someone steals it and post it on the net before the release and u won't sell enough to make up for the expenses needed for the "product"?

devlopers dont get paid by publishers unless there owned by EA...

titan quest devs went under because there publishing deal was that they wouldnt get any money from sales until the publisher had recouped there costs Laughing
then they blamed piracy after they made barely any money when they should have blamed whoever did the publishing deal.

if they went with steam they probably would have had the funds to make another game...

anyway i dont really care about piracy my passions in pc gaming are MMO's which is something that cant really be pirated very well seeing as its very rare for a server side client to be leaked and private servers suck compared to the proper ones

LoL! Nvidia blast pirates.... Doesn't make any sense and it's simple really. If there where no more pirates tomorrow, Nvidia would loose a helluva lot of dough, because there woudn't be much demand for the big gfx cards anymore now that a big chunk of nvidias customers have to spend alot of money on games aswell. Imho Nvidia is profitting greatly on pirating, but you will never hear them admit to it, and it's the same with the DvD burner producing companies. Do you hear them complain about piracy? Hell it's practically their living Very Happy
