![]() ![]() Now, onto more of the piracy portion of this discussion. Now, for the people who are unemployed or teenagers not able to work yet that wanna play the game, yeah it might seem like alot, but that’s what jobs and income are for, to participate in your economy, to be able to buy and sell stuff that you want in life. $8 for a brand-spankin’-ass new game isn’t horrendous at all, and was already on sale for $5 shortly after release, and goes on sale very very often. And it annoys you because “of course” 93% pirated the game since it’s not free, so kinda-sorta indirectly scolding them for the price they chose? I’ve seen similar games that are $20. ![]() The game is $8 per copy! (Kinda ridiculous that $8 feels like a high price, but now $8 can buy so many other great games.) What I’m really curious about is how it’s actually affecting their sales/revenue, whether it increases awareness or makes the games sell less or whatever, but nobody seems to care enough to research that… or I’m just not aware of any serious research like that.īut why would it “annoy” you for a small indie game developer (or technically any game developer for that matter) to put it out there that 93% of their players have pirated their game? Why is that a bad thing to put the awareness of that out there. Well, of course more players would play it if it’s free. One thing that annoys me when people start talking about piracy, though, is when they say that most of their users are pirates. That is very clever, but sadly way more interesting than the game itself to me. □ Giant Bomb□ Pirates react to their games being pirated - Game Dev Tycoon - Giant said: This was initially talking about this game’s pirated version being put out by Greenheart Games: ![]() I’m linking to it there, would be a good read if you can.
