Splinter Cell: Conviction PC sneaks out two weeks after 360 version

For a second I thought you were talking about white people...

Assassins Creed 2 hasn't been cracked yet, and its been 2 weeks(!). I played it for 360 so I don't give a damn. but one of my cheap ass friends is going to borrow my 360 cause he can't wait any longer lol

I don't get Ubisoft, they had DRM for Far Cry 2 but then released a patch which removed it. And now they do a complete 180 on DRM.

This song always helps me deal with my troubles, you should listen to it whenever you start to feel persecuted or maligned.

I'm afraid I see no reason to be downvoted, except for being "whiny", but being whiny in a PC thread, not a console thread so what is the problem? : /

When PS3 owners complain about getting a bad 360 port, they don't get ostracized. Why the double standard?

Couldn't you just have replied to your first post, there's no need for 2 posts.

Hey man, it's the memorabilia that counts!

Hey, you could always throw it through Ubisoft's office window with an asterisk carved into it.

keep in mind that ALL the games are developed on the p.c.... any game no mater which one is developed on the p.c. even exclusive titles are, the only reason for this delay is.. yep you guess it.... they need to chain the huge metallic DRM ball on the game.

I know that all games are developed on computers, I'm talking about PC games.

Yeah, I'm also surprised they released it for PC at all and instead having released it for the PS3.

What do you mean by your last sentence anyways?

Everyone is encouraging people to buy on consoles rather than PC anyways.

I guess people should stop developing for the PSP as well? PSP piracy hurts DS sales too?

@nerdydesi

You are totally missing his point. What he means is that if a PC game gets released at the same time as the Console version, some people who might have bought the Console version will choose to pirate the PC version. However, if the PC version comes later, or not at all, they will buy the Console version because they don't want to wait, or its the only option (Console piracy aside, since its less rampant). So yes, PC piracy sometimes does hurt Console game sales, however your analogy is completely wrong.

Actually because you don't have to pay licensing fee's on the pc, they probably make more money, they especially would if the pc version was $60 like AC2.

@pmaster
I think most people who pirate pc games would go to the trouble of modding therir Xbox 360, and this game isn't coming to the ps3, which is the only console of this generation that hasn't been cracked yet.

You know, as much as developers like to ignore it because it isn't as convenient of an excuse for them to be lazy, console piracy is well on it's way to being as prevalent as PC piracy.

So does console piracy hurt PC sales in the case of games like AC2 where the PC version hasn't been cracked yet but a pirated console version has been available since day one?

Does 360 piracy hurt PS3 sales because the 360 is far easier to mod and pirate games for than the PS3? Should they stop developing for that?

Bullshit excuses.

And DRM is NEVER un-crackable. The longer it takes this new DRM to be cracked the more people will be working on it. And once it is cracked, Ubi will be back at the drawing board.

Maybe if they bump their typical PC delay up to a year they wont have to worry about piracy as much...because nobody will give a shit about the game.

Or maybe they should just sell their PC ports at a reasonable price instead of complaining that people don't buy their $60 crappily-ported game on a shelf full of quality $50 titles.

I would argue that people are much less likely to mod their XBox than install a PC crack.
