Hackers and pirates are ruining gaming for the rest of us. It is a common misconception that pirating a game is a victimless crime. If anything, there are millions of victims. When games are pirated, developers and publishers lose money. This in turn hurts gamers everywhere.
"The Singapore-based indie games publisher Spiral Up Games and Qingdao/Shandong-based (China) indie games developer Aluba Studio, today announced with great happiness and excitement that their hacking adventure "Cyber Manhunt 2: New World" is coming to PC via Steam EA on May 10th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Berlin-based (Germany) indie games developer Tarock Interactive today announced with great delight and happiness that their open-world survival/crafting game "Lost Legions", is now currenly in development for PC." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
AGREED....whats the point of hacking??
Good side of hacking
Homebrew
bad side
People who think they can "hack" on games ruining your gaming experience
F*cking piracy
maybe they should make homebrew with PS store style homebrew downloads ;) and keep back up managers off it or make one that requires you to have original disc in the PS3 before you can load the backup like 360
Why is this an issue all of sudden? The only developers that were forced to shut down due to poor sales in recent history were;
Free Racial (Haze)
Factor 5 (Lair)
Neither of these studios shut down due to piracy...
Hackers, pirates and gaming 'journalists' are ruining the gaming.
Yeah somehow.
People have to stop pirating games, they're not supporting their industry that way.
Like it, buy it.
Don't like, don't buy.
Like it but don't have the money, wait for a steam sale.
Simple eh?
