Playstation 3 game suggestions?

Yeah, I read a press release on it somewhere when I was checking to see if there'd be a PC release.

Fuuny how that happens when you release a AAA title game with NO COPY PROTECTION.  Even more funny that the executives actually think all those pirated copies would have been sales otherwise.  People pirate games when they a) are too cheap/poor to pay money for it and b) when they are only semi-interested in the game and wanted to see a 'full demo' before comitting any cash.  Even if you were somehow able to prevent anyone from pirating your game (good luck with that), you're not suddenly going to get thousands of sales from the ex-pirate group.

But go ahead and lose more revenue by not releasing a highly in-demand game because some people are going to pirate it.  I'm sure the executives know best.

Still some portion of the pirated software would be sales the problem is no one know how many.

I have to disagree with this partially. To assume that there isn't a group c) People who would have payed for the game if there wasn't a "free" option, is just ignoring human nature. People will always take the free option if its available and has little consequence.

Now I'm not on any high horse or anything about piracy. That would be extremely hypocritical since I do use bittorrent. I just saw the lack of a group c) as an omission.

no, they won't

and to tell you the truth, there's not much point in pirating sf4 for anything other than to try it out, the online multiplayer is the only good thing in the game
the game itself hasn't evolved at all, it's the same game you played on the snes

[Lorde]

no, they won't

Yes

They

Will

[fixet]

I wouldn't

now what?

[Lorde]

I wouldn't

now what?

You win the internet?

[fixet]

I suppose that was supposed to be clever

[Lorde]

Well what do you want an award? A Medal? A cookie? How about some pie?

You don't download stuff you don't pay for on the internet...

Good for you.

The conversation is over.

A "winrar" is you.

Okay, this is getting out of hand.
Why don't you two take the whole debate outside and solve it the good old way.
Oh wait. you can't. Because if you could we wouldn't have this conversation in the first place. But its always nice to see people making total douches out of themselves over the internet.
