Bloody pirates!

[danjama]

Is anyone else annoyed by all of the crack/key gen videos on youtube for CloD?

I haven't watched any of them. I don't even have the game yet. But it's annoying that people are pirating this game so freely, when we know how much work is being put into it. It's also annoying that i search for new CloD videos to enjoy, and all i get in results are these videos made by dickheads.

There must be something that can be done to these people?

if you search for the game title, you get more crack/keygen videos for it than you do actual videos.

I was marking them as fraud previously, but there are so many now I've pretty much given up.

not a single one of those works....

i have the game, but whilst ubi failed to deliver it to me i wanted to play so bad....

I've been saying all along the pirates are mad as heck, because they won't have their freebie BOB COD handed to them.

They have been driving moderators crazy with all their rampaging posts on this forums.

I'm glad others are beginning to see it.

Updates will go through steam so maintaining BOB COD will be difficult for them over the long run. Unless they are just set on getting it for free they would do better just to buy it. The workarounds will drive them nuts with all the patches we having coming over the next couple months.

Most people who are pirating this game would never have bought the game in the first place so its usually not much loss any way. I know I have gottne pirated games in the past and never really played them. Every game that I really wanted I bought because I knew that was the only way to enjoy it the way it was meant to, especially MP.

I have pirated games in the past, but i dont bother no more, i just buy the games i really wanted to play.

But i have been let down a few times, pre orderd Empire totalwar, and it did not work and took 6 patchs to fix and its still buged. pre orded silent hunter 5 and it was unplayable.

So i pre orderd mafia 2 only for it to have half of its content removed. with a storyline that had been edited by a deranged monkey.

so i pre orded codemasters F1 race sim, only for it to have such huge bugs a deranged monkey with no arms could win a championship in a lotus with 3 wheels. oh and codemaster released one patch that did not work and walked away.

So i can understand why ppl pirate, but i really only play games that are released by paradox or Maddox these days and i not been upset by any of them.

I still would of bought Cliffs of Dover if Oleg just executed my chilrdren

Won't stop publishers sighting this as a reason for the death of PC gaming.

I have known lots of people over the years that have gotten pirated games in the past and every single one of them rarely even played the games. I think they just like the idea of gettin a hacked game. Most played the game once and then never again. Everything that I ever really wanted I bought becasue I knew I wanted the full unadultered experiance. And if your like myself and really only play multiplayer then you cant usually use a hacked game online.

It'd be a real kick in the nuts if the new patch didn't work with the cracked game. Someone pirates the game thinking they have a new sim to fly only to find out its buggy as he!!.

Still personally don't believe many will pirate the sim and cost the devs much. I'd be willing to bet since this is not some twitch shooter very few will actually steal it for themselves especially when comparing it to MOH, Crysis, or Call of Duty numbers and or percentage wise. Flying combat is no easy thing to pick up, and trying it online will be even more humbling.

I'm thinking we have the understanding of the release now... cheers
