In all honesty, I do my trolling but not like the way it gets to people sometimes! Sometimes it's really hard been mature enough not to be touch by a nasty comment ... but if it helps, I have go a bit smart (not ass) on my comments ... guess there's very serious cases of attention wh0res in this case.
@Leonagard ... I think that those who hack the game are people that for X or Y reason won't buy the game, but out of that segment there will be those who will say ... wow, this game kicks ass ... I'm buying it and that's all on that segment.
I don't agree with piracy and it's understandable that a developer would invest in securing the asset with the objective of making that segment that could buy the game buy it from day 1 and to perhaps increase that segment by appealing to those who wouldn't but are over hyped for it; there's also the benefit from online updates (because downloading a patch file is to mainstream /sarcasm) and bug fixes (because Beta is not enough so let's release, monetize on the hype and fix on the go, if game is crap we stop there) , and securing your game key (Reaaally ... well, it happens)... Now, on the other hand, and what is most important from this and what people fails to realize in most cases is that you have a software that monitors your hardware, installed software, probably cookies, favorites and why not, personal files ... because it can be done or exploit by a hacker bringing not only a open invasion on privacy (probably contemplated in the EULA) but a security risk as well, and one that as per history has shown ... they fail to take responsibility of been them the ones to let the door open.
Now, Hacking the game is fun for some people ... that's how they roll ... I mean, there's Saints Row, even the so call "leak" of cheat codes from GTA V ... also there's the modding community soooo ... yes, you not enjoying that justifies the always online.
This is what I believe we should be concerned with nowadays, as this is where the gaming industry is going to ... becoming the most standard, non innovating, full of payments industry of all. Look at what happens to music ... it's ridicule!
Can't get enough of this video ... it's almost as seen the Microsoft Video for going back on what they had for launch been removed ... this is epic and hilarious at the same time yet not 100% honest ... Mosqueira saying thanks and all ... he probably meant ... I'm sorry? ... but this is PR way to say we couldn't pull it off and will affect the launch of our future products so let's remove it announce it as if this was a huge decision for the sake of players and let's not admit we did wrong and took a long time to listen!
(BTW, if this is going to feedbackula -hope it does-) I'm a Latin American native and would love to have a latino accent, not cuban but love that Pitbull Puertorrican, Cuban accent XD
