Crysis was a POS. I's overhyped to the extreme, had nice graphics and effects that's all. A mindless shooter IMHO. That was the end of it, not piracy.
As for Mass Effect: I've tried to buy it from several sources without any success. If you are from outside of the US, you are denied the chance of buying it. They'll release it in Europe a week from now, but I want to play the US version. Nobody cares about it. Then frak them.
IMHO piracy lowers the number of POS games on the market, effectively compensating for the loss incurred for publishers by eliminating competition. You can't make (a lot of) money on POS games, it's that simple. --------------------------------------------- GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!

Only when you are allowed to buy the games you want. Since there's no way I can buy Mass Effect via digital download, I'm forced to look for it on eBay. 6-10 days till arrival. OMFG. --------------------------------------------- GET TO THE CHOPPA!!! The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. |

this is a total fault of the movie industry as well, they tend to refuse to do globial releases. DVD magnifies this with its lame ass Region Codes, release a DVD here in the US and it wont play in the EU for example, now if the EU release is say 3 months off then guess what? people will pirate because they want it at the same time as the US without having to wait for it to come over on a UPS or Fedex plane.
I've been trying to get ahold of a copy of Mass Effect for days now. There's just no way for me to get it. Even tried using fake address + proxy (with valid cc ofc, I'm not a con) but no luck. I simply can't buy it. How ridiculous is that?
Edit: and yeah, most US eBayers won't send anything abroad, and those who are willing won't let me choose a faster shipment method. One of them even tried to scam me into paying $50 for a postal service that costs about half of that.

I don't get why you would buy a game that has so many fecking restrictions on it...3 installs then you have to call the company to try and get more? With absolutey no garrentee that they will allow you to do meore?
At full retail prices? **** them, **** the horse they rode in on and **** everybody that agrees with this blatent ******* rip off from a bunch of total *****s...
You are of course right. Thing is that Mass Effect is one of those games I would really be able to enjoy for a change. There aren't many quality RPGs out. Last one I liked came out like two years ago: Neverwinter Nights 2. --------------------------------------------- GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!

OMFG, I've finally placed an order at game.co.uk for an actual DVD version since I'm not eligible for download. Anyways, it seems the release date is 6 of June which is Friday. I wonder when are they going to ship it. It'll cost me 1.5x more than it would here, but hey, I don't have to wait three weeks till the local release.
