The console piracy stopped being a major issue when the PS3 launched. Source: The country I live in.
Damn, man. You PC players are coming out of the woodwork. A piece of plastic really shook you to the core. Must be miserable having a piece of plastic be your entire personality and life. Imagine taking a picture with your plastic box and using that as your profile pic. Pathetic creature.
But @Johnic is 100% right. ps3 killed piracy for the most part. Rest of his post is also correctAnd you're right, I am new, so I kept it pretty much facts only until a bunch of low-IQ dipshits like Johnic over here started with the personal attacks.
A country that doesn't enforce piracy laws and where 99% of games are pirated. And several other neighboring countries. Up until the PS3 launch, you couldn't even buy legitimate copies as shops sold pirated ones. With the PS3 that went away because it was harder to pirate for and that continued like that until today..... yeah. Just like PC pirates. A good chunk of pirates either were never planning to buy the game anyways, or were going to buy after playing the pirated version (it serves as a demo)
.... what country?? We have no clue where you live. Seems like a source from rectum.org more than anything
Current gen console piracy still exists.But @Johnic is 100% right. ps3 killed piracy for the most part. Rest of his post is also correct
delusional.Current gen console piracy still exists.
PC game piracy is low in the EU and the US.
I've already folded your uninformed arguments. Your sad attempts at discrediting me won't change that.
As for the rest of his post, I cannot imagine being so entirely devoid of self-awareness as to attack someone for using a DOOM Slayer helmet as their PFP on a gaming forum.
But do go on, keep embarrassing yourselves.
delusional.
There is no piracy on current gen consoles.
On previous gen it was marginal, not worth considering.
And nobody here hates on doom lol wtf.
and all the piracy talks only makes me think you are a pirate yourself if you supposedly know so much about it.
If those "information" is coming from Reddit, than no thanks.I just took the whole 10 minutes to look things up before engaging with the topic.
In Eastern Europe (I can speak about Ukraine and partly Poland), the PS3 was an object of hatred because it was partially hacked only at the very end of the generation, and the process of hacking was not the easiest.But @Johnic is 100% right. ps3 killed piracy for the most part.

This is exactly true!In Eastern Europe (I can speak about Ukraine and partly Poland), the PS3 was an object of hatred because it was partially hacked only at the very end of the generation, and the process of hacking was not the easiest.
The X360 was hated much less, because it was hacked quickly, and pirated games for it were very cheap, about $8-10, and many people could download and burn the game to a DVD by themselves.
In general, the cult of hatred for PlayStation came to Eastern Europe from russia, where even before the well-known PCMR appeared, there was a “PC only and Forever” movement that opposed the PS1 and other consoles.
Independently of if they pirate or not, around a quarter of the game revenue comes from PC. A chunk somewhat similar to the whole console market. Some may pirate, but a lot of people pays.Most pirates are in the Eastern Bloc, Asia and India. You said it yourself: they were never going to buy anything to begin with. The part you forgot is that this is just as true for PS games as it is for PC.
Console piracy is less prevalent than pc but it still exists. PS built its global reputation by allowing pirated SW en masse in developing countries playing the long term game. That decimated any competition while acheaving pseudo monopolistic brand awareness. Specially during the PS1, PS2 and PSP eras. SW sales from rich counties financed the loss. Also Sony had a stronger financial backbone back then.
Why do you think lots of third parties struggled during the 7th generation. The official story is the jump to HD. But in reality, there were lots of popular games that didn't have big sales numbers. Wonder why?
There's the option of buying used games which the self appointed paladins of gaming typically champion. At the end of the day, the result is the same. No money goes to the devs as games change hands.
Better to buy them on a steam sale.
Most of that is still from MTX, in games they can't pirate.Independently of if they pirate or not, around a quarter of the game revenue comes from PC. A chunk somewhat similar to the whole console market. Some may pirate, but a lot of people pays.
It means, whatever someone says in general or most cases, don't internalise and apply to yourself or all and then project."Stop being women-mind"
Feels like people said this about Xbox back in 2015 & all of Xbox pivots failed & caused irreparable damage that killed the platform/hardware/storefront & businessIf you're a CEO of a company and you don't prepare your company for very possible if not probable changes to your industry, you're not doing your job.
That's the reality that you and other Sony doomers don't realize.
If/when you're wrong, there's no penalty for it. You just go on to the next post, likely wrong about that as well.
Sony has to live with it.
