    The fact I wont be able to play the game because I am region locked out of it has made me consider pirating for a game for the first time

    • @AaronWOfficial
      @AaronWOfficial 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +58

      Believe it or not, pirating exists for this exact reason + other noble reasons such as better performance without DRM and the ability to play games offline on some games that are designed to be always online. Some people just take advantage of pirated copies so they get a free game, which gives pirates a bad name. In the old days before drm\always online and other such corporate bullshitery, people would use pirated games so they could play from their hard drive instead of requiring a cd\dvd to be inserted. Some honest people would actually still buy the game, but just use a no cd\dvd cracked copy to play from their hard drive.

    To answer your question about brand loyalty, I've come to the conclusion that most people today have chosen a "side" and will just accept whatever their chosen brand does.
    People pretend "if X company did X thing better, maybe more people would choose them!" but in reality they've hitched their ride to their brand, and nothing anyone else does will change that.
    And no matter how much a company screws you over or chooses anti-consumer practices, they'll excuse & defend it or just deflect to the competitors.

    The thing about piracy is, it only affects publisher not the dev. Devs don't get money from sales they get money to make the game. Only time it affects devs is when development studio is owned by publisher even then they get paid monthly just like a normal job. So yeah pirating only hurts sony and Nintendo since they don't provide service.

NO) you have to keep in mind that Sony is greedy they won't sell the game for less because if they do, they have to sell the base game for 50$ globally meaning less money (i doubt most people would buy multiplayer, they just gonna treat it as a discount).

    You're 100% right, but it was a calculated move by Sony. Active PSN accounts are worth more than game sales. This really is no different than the music or film industry, neither of which look at sales of physical copies as the planned source of main revenue. I really doubt the focus on digital sales is of much concern either to those companies. Console's value share holder and investor's money over customers and average consumers' money completely for now. It probably points to cloud gaming, it's a race for subs until there it's no longer worth selling consoles to them.
    So yeah, pirate away because it's nothing but free publicity for them. And unfortunately the small devs will be fired regardless. This is a min-max of sorts.

Noone is talking to the players or addressing any concerns, providing updates or news of potential compromises/fixes. It's just a massive shitshow being ignored across all social media and forums.
