Double standards piracy? Pc vs consoles

This!

Gamestop is guilty of this for the console crowd but no console gamer will never admit it.

@pc_rocks: and that doesn't earn pc gamers the title of pirates? A system out to stop pirating caused more pirating, only on PC.

No. It shows we are not corporate slaves. To earn our dollars provide us a better service not like consoles where you eat up any shit that these corporations throw at you.

Again, it was proven that piracy was more of a service issue than hurr durr all PC gamers and pirate and just want freebies. As a matter of fact, I can say that consoles will have much more piracy if it was that easy as it is on PC. Don't ever think consolites are doing it due to some moral high ground. They are doing it because they can't pirate due to the mother of all DRM - the hardware DRM box, it is again reflected in how huge the 2nd hand games market is currently.

Used games are not piracy. You're not making illegal copies.

I like how this info is just glossed over by people still trying to peg PC as filthy pirate platform. Through out all of last gen game companies kept calling PC gamers filthy pirates and used it as justification for crappy PC ports, delayed releases and just avoiding the platform all together. Heck the gaming industry was somewhat trying to kill PC gaming on purpose. Now all of them are trying to get on the PC gaming bandwagon. Companies don't blame PC piracy for their games not selling as much anymore and really can't without the spotlight being brought on why the game really failed such as just being a mediocre game in general. So yeah companies can't use piracy as a scapegoat anymore for why their half assed PC port/mediocre game did poorly on PC.

Star Citizen also proves there is a big demand for certain types of games on PC that companies simply aren't filling and just assume we all want to play nothing more than what the consoles usually get. PUBG and CSGO getting sales on PC that Activision wishes the CoD franchise on PC did.

Steam has already proven that poor sales on PC have more to do with inconvenience than piracy. Russia and China which are the two biggest piracy regions are now some of PC gaming's most profitable markets. Especially China where piracy is pretty much the norm to the point it killed off their own domestic premium game market that remained nearly non-existent until Steam came back in late 2015 and the premium game market has been getting over 180% year over year growth since and more Chinese companies and developers making premium and non online games.
