And you know who that behaviour hurts? The PC community remember the mid 2000s when everything was only on console because of piracy was a giant problem on PC before steam became the giant it is today devs were ignoring the PC because everything was cracked and distributed online before the official release date.
It’s why crysis bombed financially despite so much praise the priacy numbers were giant. Now if just half of those who pirated the game just brought it legally we would of got a crysis 2 that wasn’t designed around a linear console game experience and watered down like 2 was
It really took the rise of digital store fronts to give people a legal and affordable way back to PC gaming for publishers to fully embrace of again.
So if you think piracy is ever the answer remember your the reason why crysis 2 sucks and the reason why we have such harsh DRM like denuvo or custom DRM like rockstar built for rdr2.
