ArtG818 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 like if there wasnt any piracy at all do you think that R* would've optimized this game? and possibly payed more attention to pc then consoles?

Shof Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 another thing you have to factor in, is their quick rush for the holiday shipment/shopping/etc Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/395970-if-there-was-no-piracy/#findComment-1058937170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaCkOX Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I don't think so. The problem is in their hands. Even if it was piracy related or not Rockstar hasn't made the real effort to make this the best PC game.

ArecBalrin Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I think piracy is an post hoc excuse for things that go bad rather than being a ready-made scapegoat. They didn't make decisions based on prediction that the game was going to be pirated, except for the over-the-top implimentation and expendature on DRM. Without piracy, it would have been a wonky-ish port without DRM rather than a wonky-ish port with DRM. EA it seems s the only company that actually seems to be trying to make piracy a catch-all for *everything*. If they had bought Take-Two the game would have turned out no differently, maybe even worse, although the Take-Two shareholders would be a lot happier.

ZaCkOX Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Also consider, they bought DRM protection, probably assumed they were good and didn't have piracy concerns. That was until later, Notice patch v.2.... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/395970-if-there-was-no-piracy/#findComment-1058937194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmingCharlie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The piracy debate has been done to death, seriously just how many different angles can you debate it. If you want to have a piracy debate then take it to the general forums where it will last just as long as this thread did.
