PC PC GAMES

If you have listen to our podcast for a while you know what we think of piracy. We don’t like it, we feel that a good developer needs to make money and earned it if he made some software you enjoy enough to pour your time into it.

Much is made about piracy on the PC. How easy it is, how much money it costs the developers and publishers. You might have even seen the lame excuse by some developers that say developing for the PC is not worth their time since so much is stolen especially on that platform.

Much of these arguments are easily debunkt and don’t hold water… again we talked about them in length in our podcasts. But since FIFA11 just hit the retail channel I figured I take a quick look at the news groups to see if pirates are busy pirating and to see what the black market does offer. Newsgroups are usually the first place you will find software and most of the software that will make it onto torrent sites comes from newsgroups.

So FIFA 11 is right now available for:

• XBOX360

That is it for right now. No PC version yet… no WII or PS3. I don’t doubt that we will see a copy for all of them sooner or later, but can’t we just put the myth to rest that the PC is the one and only platform (and the first) things get pirated on?! Yes, this is just one software, but overall you see a XBOX360 version much much quicker than anything else. I will follow this trend a little more as we go into the Christmas season and post updates as I find them.
