(please excuse my bad English)
Gaming industry in long time say that piracy destroying it.
But that is not true.
Yes piracy damaging industry but maximally in 1/4 other 3/4 does gaming industry itself.
How? How did i know that?
I am old gaming professional with one of world biggest gaming knowledge that count around 5000 game titles on different platforms and over 28 years deep experience.
Still unsuccessful with reaching my dream job as game designer.
Problem with bad gaming industry situation isn´t in piracy or few years in economical crisis.
Mayor pars it that 99% of developers are dumb that not able use brain, or used it how make easy fast money from nothing and how effectively rob their customers. Their long time work on customers brain wash and forgoting on fans. I have big picture how games in time changed and how they changed in bad.
Most people every time use easiest/laziest way how find victim and pirates is easy target.
Yes, pirates damaging industry, but not that much and i if will be game developer not have fear from them. They can be helpful as example market feedback. They are most dynamic than classic market.
Piracy is something as natural phenomena, you must not destroy it but coexist with him.
A loot of these pirates are not thieves and bad people, but only people that not have choice in time.
It is loot ways how defend gains them or slow them.
Example: StarForce was one of best game protections on world in my opinion and experiences.
There been a loot hunt on it with fames that destroying CD/DVD mechanics and others.
True is that most companies are incompetent it correctly.
If is correctly used then there isn´t any problems on users computers.
I´m been surprised what that protection software able set when i speak with authors when i need some cooperation.
Another way is make game online. But this is not every time good idea for me.
And last way is make F2P (Free to Play) games. But with nice idea is again raped by business companies. And most of these called F2P games aren´t true F2P but hardly pay. Some lucky companies have in this model literally gold mine.
But main gaming industry problem is that, they do not able make honestly games, bring fun, happy, thing for players. They only thing money, money, money. They not make nothing new, mostly rob from something old and make remake or take only part idea. They see successful game and then clone it and think that they must bee too successfuly.
I have a loot game ideas, know how make it but i am not programer, graphic, musician. I have only knowledge to directing and how things works.
Some time ago i have hassle with gaming industry professionals and media press.
I say that i want good space strategy game, they say market is full and nobody want this stile games.
And that i do not understand gaming industry and players. Around 3/4 year later is out this:
Sins of Solar Empires - Wikipedia:
In September 2008, Stardock's CEO, Brad Wardell, stated that Sins of a Solar Empire had sold over 500,000 units, with 100,000 of those being download sales, on a development budget of less than $1,000,000.[11] The game sold 200,000 copies in its first month of release alone.[29] The 2012 Rebellion expansion sold over 100,000 digital copies in its first month of release, setting a Stardock sales record for digital retail.[30]
Is funny read this when all say in how bad economical situation is gaming industry and that players not have money or want buy games.
Yes i´m still not understand games, gaming industry and i am not have good games idea.
Have money then i will start my own game company, but there are hard times.
When big companies hardly damage gaming industry scene then there is really not certainty if really good game will success. In time i saw few really interesting games that not success. But is not fail those who make it but that others and players. There was been more stronger companies that buy space for advertisement and brain washing, loot of speaking and this small company not have that space and chances. In some time later i saw that same game model maked from somoe other that sure stealled it from these previous unsuccessful team.
It is sadly, but true.
Thanks for reading.
Roland
