Piracy Killing PC Games

Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games spoke out about the way piracy is killing the PC game biz and forcing them on to a console.

He said, “Well one of the key things that is really affecting the economics and the success of gaming in general is piracy on the PC,” he said, talking at GDC. “So one of the reasons we’ll see RTSs on the console is because people can’t pirate it. That’s why we’re going to see a lot more of everything on the console. When you look at the sales of really hardcore games like Crysis and you think, ‘Wow, those games should have sold a lot more,’ you realize that’s probably due in large part to piracy. And you realize that a game like Crysis would have done its true numbers if it had launched on console first.”



Supreme Commander, will make its way to Xbox 360 later this year.
