Do you think it's ethical for someone who creates cracks and enables pirated copies of games to help devs create anti-piracy measures in their games?

I'm in such a position right now and have wondered if this is a legitimately useful thing to any party at all.

On one side the dev can fight piracy somewhat better, maybe not perfectly, but would allow for ways to fight it without having to rely on Denuvo, DRM or SecuROM (people still use this for some reason).

On the other hand, we have groups that pirate that will be pissed for someone creating cracks suddenly make it harder for other cracking groups, which will only cause a stir of commotion and bitching.

If in this position what would you do?

>Iga's face when he buys Comcept in a few years
15 posts and 4 images submitted.

Why would he buy trash? Just buy Inti for keeps so they don't get forced to make garbage.
>>
>>344275171

Comcept has some nice artists. After Red Ash flops, he could buy the company for pennies. Inti-Creates could be bought along side it.

He could let Inafune dance for yen in the lobby.
>>
>>344275287
Inti has better artists to be quite honest family.
Iga's not exactly in desperate need for them either, Bloodstained's artist is just fine. All he really needs is based Kojima back on team and maybe Hirooka as well.

Blood and Wine is far too fan service, also the colour palette burns my eyes after a few hours

Skyrim just didn't have a good combat system, that's one of the main things I hope they fix in ES6

Here's a more accurate statement:
Skyrim had one of the most unsatisfying gameplay in the history of video games.

Evolve has more people online right now than Battleborn has ever had online.

It's a little jarring to see such low numbers on a game. Such as the 641 max players in the last 24 hours. Everytime I see a Battleborn Steamcharts image, it reminds me of when I was in high school and we had all of the Year 10 11 and 12 students in the hall, and were told it was 2,300~ students.

Didn't seem like many and that's 20% of the All-Time Battleborn peak player count.

I don't get it. Why is watching others play vidya so popular?

I'm assuming not and crossbuy is digital-only, since they haven't done the "W10 store code packed in with the first run of Xbox One copies!" thing like they did with Quantum Break.

Zelda is awe-inducing especially when you play a title as a child but every title starts slowly and drags on. It's a very high quality game that might or might not be fun at all.

I tried to get into Dark Souls, but 70% of the charm is the community, finding out about the lore, invading, telling/hearing secrets from friends, discussing builds etc.
If you don't have hundreds of hours, it's just an 8/10 game with an obscure plot, well told but probably less thought out than people think.

I never played Metal Gear but I think it's a similar story to Zelda, with more cutscenes and more quirky mechanics.

I tried to get into Morrowind and failed. The combat is severely bad. Anyone, even people who like it will agree. People just remember fondly thinking about stats, and like the well fleshed out world, with walls of not voice acted text.

None of these games are worth it unless you WANT to get into them, put the time in, and really soak in the experience.

I'd say in the end it's hard to justify forcing someone to go back to these rather than enjoying simpler and maybe faster games which are ultimately more fun.
