here is the best point i can come up with why everyone is like this:
1 Extra copy SOLD on AMIGA = IMPORTANT
1 Extra Copy Pirated on PC = Who will notice it?
anyway i must share with you that the PC area aint like it once was,
the stats for norway are riddiculous low compared to ... 2 years ago (amounts of sold software)
The Mac Area is the same as it has been since 1995, LOW!
the Amiga market in norway , hmmm is there any?? we have 1 shop and they only ORDER it if we order it first (ie its cheaper if we buy directly) , 4 years ago the market was little , 10 years ago it was HUMONGOUS!
conclusion..., even tou some formats gain more and more users they still sell worser and still has to OVERPRICE titles but i know why they overprice, as they are greedy and too many people needs money out of it.
I still remeber that the cd32 offered REALLY cheap games (before it was launched) as it was on a cd medium and didnt require big boxes etc, well what happened??
Alot of people on PC Pirate, and they dont buy if they like either and besides there is like millions of demos out there so infact if it was the intention to buy before u try THEN GET THE DAMN demos,
people still make games that is unplayable if you pirate (ut2003 etc) but thats only something the developer thinks! or???
and to thoose who have an excuse of beeing collector maniacs, well HAH! ever considered what a collector maniac does?? 1. he encourage others to do the same. 2. he puts out lists of the dats so that other can help him or join in. a good example here is TOSEC , and tosec have stuff in their dats which are NEW and they dont even care, impossible to find the files?? lol ,check any TOSEC channel or kazaa....AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
to hell with double morals , KILL IT ALL IF YOU LIKE !! and for godsake support what you like (ie if its PC or AMIGA or PS2 or GC or DC or GBA or MAC ,as long as you LIKE it then BUY IT!
sorry...i am kinda upset here but 1 thing is for sure people with no money dont buy, and 99% of the people who is pirates is broke people or collector maniacs.
