It's just like music:
1. AAA titles without paying a cent
2. Innovation, but not too much (being a newbie is a cardinal sin, remember?)
3. No DLC, just free content released periodically afterwards
Piracy does quite a number on people with existing entitlement issues.
- elarkin 14y agoThis isn't entirely an issue of greedy people having feelings of entitlement. Like many of you all, I do not know of anyone who pirates software, movies or music (ever since I graduated college) anymore. That's because the piracy rates in the US are much reduced compared to elsewhere in the world. International publishers, like Ubisoft, then feel that if they are going to sell their products in these high-piracy areas that they need to protect it. Then, because they have to protect it from the pirates elsewhere, they give us a crippled product in the US. If Ubisoft thought of its customers strictly as Americans, they would not have implemented all the crazy DRM stuff they have today. Regardless of whether you believe Ubisoft is justified in pursuing DRM at all costs like they have, the issue is /not/ primarily one of entitlement. http://portal.bsa.org/globalpiracy2011/ http://portal.bsa.org/globalpiracy2011/
