HA HA OH WOW

>>113239892
you gonna buy it on steam? oh wait.

console game sales for bad company 2

xbox 360 - 4 million
ps3 - 2.5 million
pc - 500,000

this applies to just about every single multiplatform release that has a pc variant - no one buys it on pc. you are an afterthought. its why the console versions run perfectly at every press event, even the most recent in san fran, while the pc version is buggy, broken and always having problems at the same events. enjoy your console port pc peasants. you are the uk of game platforms.

Battlefield 2 was buggy as shit (well it was laggy and lots of disconnects, not so much crashes) but it sold like 1.5 million copies in the first month.
The difference here is that they release an actual demo for BF2, you got 64 players, all the vehicles on a big ass map. People bought it even though they knew how buggy it was because it was that fucking awesome.
The complete opposite of BF3, EA is relying on hype to sell this game, not quality.

>>113241960
yeah its an interesting trend.
English speaking countries love CoD, non english speaking, not so much.
It's really odd, the entirety of europe has a love affair for battlefield 2.

The Xbox one would be the guy saying 'Why can't i hold all these disk?'

PS3 will be put disk in, install, play and pwn.

>>113242188

>>113241816
for every pc sale there's 3-4 pirated sales lost. and you wonder why companies are trying to steer away from the PC market and become more console friendly?

If the person who pirates never had money to buy it in the first place then no sale is lost as no sale was ever going to happen.

>>113242328
that was just a supplement to the fact that each cross platform game costs more and sells more than the PC equivalent

but you can keep living in your deluded reality, w/e bro

Actually it's an excellent argument and further proves that PC gamers are overwhelmingly awful and killing the industry with their greed.

>>113242929
Typical criminal mindset. You're only stealing what nobody wants, huh?

>>113242669
if the person in question doesnt pirate and actually spends money on a console port to pc, they are fucking retarded in the first place. if you are into pc gaming, you do not pay for the games or you are just a moralfag retard.

Do you know what stealing is?

>>113243119
retention numbers don't equate to sales.

if anything, they would probably prefer less retention, because of less server cost. (that's assuming dice hosts the majority of them, idk if they do)

Stealing is taking something from someone, you gained something and they lost something. Like if I stole your car, you're now missing a car. However if a pirate a game, then no-one has lost anything.

>>113243448

>arguing with a level 0 troll

>>113243448
If you want to play the game, you pay for it. Getting it for free, through third party means, is criminal theft and is directly responsible for the death of the industry. Congrats.

>>113243425

But no-one lost anything, therefore doesn't mean theft.
>>113243488
I don't really give a fuck, it's more fun arguing about piracy with trolls than it is to browse the billions of LoL generals.

>>113243507
Only assuming the game would be paid for if the possibility for piracy was not available.

No, it wouldn't.

A shitty game won't sell, ever. However, it could get pirated, which is basically free advertising for the game.

Piracy helps game sales. Yes I said it.

>>113243448
By that rationale, not downloading it illegally is the same as not downloading it at all. So why don't you do that? Because you're a greedy fuck who cannot justify he cancerous, constant thievery.

>>113243507

>buying from store
>store is a 3rd party
>you are paying to pirate

>>113243625
Nope.

People who would otherwise buy or try the game, or ask for it as a gift, just steal it. You do it. Your friends do it. You're just lying to yourselves and it's pathetic.

>>113243628
>By that rationale, not downloading it illegally is the same as not downloading it at all.

I did that, for years, then I discovered pirating and got to play all the games I missed, the companies didn't lose anything, since I wasn't going to pay in the first place.

>>113243601
Whatever helps you sleep at night, thief. Just understand you're the main reason PC gaming is the way it is.

>>113243775
Exactly. You don't give a shit. Instead of buying those games FUCK IT IT'S FREE AT MY FINGERTIPS I'M A CHILD....

nice mentality. No wonder the industry is doomed. Thank you.

>>113243775
>I wasn't going to pay in the first place.

>''I discovered theft, now I don't need to pay for things like regular people."

What, what a sound philosophy. No wonder PC gaming is so great. Look at who they have to cater to.

>>113243840
What? How does me playing a game I wouldn't pay for in the first place automatically kill every company?
>>113243904
But it's true, I did that for 7 years until I discovered pirating, I was a poorfag.

>>113243969
>I'm poor so I get to have everything for free

Listen to yourself. Pathetic.

>>113243701
People would never pay $60 for a game that they were unsure of. They'd just skip it.

However, by pirating it, playing it and enjoying it, it would give the added incentive to buy the game to get more out of it, i.e online features or simply to support the devs.

Sorry bro, you're clueless.

>>113243949
You aren't going to convince anybody to stop pirating (even if your specific arguments weren't old & tired and easily rebutted). All you're achieving is making people dislike "CLINT". Do you consider this a success?

OP you forgot updating the drivers, spending thousands of dollars on shit you have to upgrade every year, hoping everything is compatible and runs, hackers and modders galore on pc because punkbuster blows, and douchebag server admins that ban 92% of the guns/equipment in the game and ban you if you look at them funny.

Oh yeah master race for sure

>>113244043
Wow, it's almost like you're so young you don't remember a time before high speed internet. When, you know, people bought shit and PC gaming was strong.

>>113244023
This is the post of someone who has no arguments.

>>113244051
>implying anybody has refuted anything I've said at all

All people have said is "I'm going to pirate regardless"...I just want thieves to own up to the fact that they've killed their precious industry. They did.

>>113244023
At least I'm honest and not blaming others because of change.

Why are we talking about pirating and BC2 sales? Did people really get this game for the single player...?

>>113244087

>implying people didn't pirate back then also
