God dammit, it looks like our numbered days of enjoying pirated mw2 online have reached the number 0(totally unpoetic use of words, i know).
I guess it's pointless crying like a woman for that which i couldn't fix like a repairman.(also very unpoetic, sorry).
In my unhumble opinion, this whole business of cracking games is very uncapitalist. I understand the position of the game developers; i'd hate it too, if people used my goods or services without paying me. The thing is, there's only one price. Their price. There isn't much of a supply-demand graph for pricing games. That's fine, i guess. But not employing some form of tiered pricing is ridiculous.
when i buy an rm15 game, i know that i get:
1)basic packaging
2)the game(offline only)
3)the ability to install it in multiple pcs
when i buy an rm170 game, i get:
1)awesome packaging
2)the complete game
3)technical support/warranties
4)a hole in my wallet
so, why would i wanna pay 10 times as much to get just a handful of almost unnoteworthy benefits?
No reason at all unless the game's played online. Otherwise there's no incentive to pay that much.
And it's not that we WANT to rob the game developers, most of the time, they're like unsung artists. I actually would rather pay that 15 bucks to the developers than the pirates and piraters, who's only art is saying, "dvd, oi, friend, dvd" in the most annoying way possible.
So, if i ever got to burn the capitalist agenda, i would only target the stupidity involved in its profit maximizing scheme that either fails or has severe consequences(mcdonalds making people fat and stupid).
Here's a suggestion; strip down the game to its core instead of piling stuff on. I dont need a beautiful box with detailed instructions as much as i need just the game in a plastic bag. I would gladly pay a legitimate rm50 for
just the original modern warfare 2 dvd instead of the rm45 for 3 pirated dvds.
