TheNexusNews.com reports that Tomb Raider has been pirated one week before its official release date.
Apparently the Digital Piracy community has effectively captured and cracked the XBox version of Tomb Raider 2013, this ironically follows the theme of the main game as well. Currently only the XBox version has been captured, but it is expected that before the official release date the PS3 edition will also be released.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
This isn't respecftul towards the persons who worked hard on that game, whether you appreciate it or not.
I'm sorry this happened, Lara. It's okay though, Baby. I paid for you upfront months ago. I wouldn't ever hurt you.
And this is why they need to stop using PC as a scapegoat. Fact is Xbox 360 OFTEN gets pirated versions released in advance of PS3 and PC pirated versions. In fact both consoles appear to get much quicker/easier piracy than PC these days. The number of legitimate buyers just covers it up a bit (but then it would on PC too if devs actually knew what they were doing instead of punishing PC users with DRM and BAD PORTS)
All those devs who jumped ship from the PC blaming Piracy (when in fact they were just greedy mofos cashing in on the console boom) will end up returning to PC games with their tails between their legs, realising that PC gamers WILL buy games if they don't keep including shitty DRM/RootKits/Malware (basically punishing paying customers) AND make sure the game makes full use of the PC's capabilities.. crappy ports need not apply in the next gen thank you.
This is disgraceful, what a kick in the nads to the people who worked tirelessly on this title.
Personally I don't think the perpetrators even deserve to be called pirates, 'thieves' is a more fitting title.
The pirates I'm familiar with sport wooden legs, eye patches and battle scars. The closest these game pirates get to real battle is through PvP.
I say keel haul these land lubbers.
Unless theyre using bew DRM. A day not a week for low lives to crack it on pc. Get a job to pay low lives
