I don't think I agree with you. Gaming as an industry is dying. PC gaming even more so thanks to Piracy.
Please buy games that are good for which developers have put in a lot of hard work just so that we can enjoy a quality game. So that ten years down the line developers still make games for PC.
/end rant
Please don't take anything personally. Just my 2 cents.
No offense taken. But dude, it's simple. If a person has the money and is willing to shell it out, he'll buy the game. If a person doesn't have the money and/or not willing to buy a game(even if he has a billion dollars), he'll
never buy it. You really think Denuvo increased DAI sales that much? Piracy these days helps in testing the game-I could have saved a ton of money if I had just pirated Watch_Dogs first, tested it, seen what a piece of crap it was, and then deleted it, instead of pre-ordering it and spending months frustrated(I did save on ACU). As seamon says, the reputation of a game a gain new peaks if pirates like it and then buy it(yes, contrary to popular opinion, many pirates buy the game if they like it, to support the devs).
Besides,there's availability. Why do you think 3DM is at the forefront of DAI DRM-breaking? Limited availibility in China. It's already banned in India(I got my money refunded twice before I could finally play the game, the experience wasn't exactly smooth).
And no, PC gaming isn't dying. It's in fact, stronger than ever, thanks to the fact that X1 and PS4 just came out and can barely handle 1080p 30fps(Forget about 4K gaming). How exactly will they keep up 5-7 years from now? More and more games are being ported over to PC(some of them crap ports, sure, but my point stands): MGS5, Street Fighter 5, Titanfall, Ryse, even Sunset Overdrive is rumored to come out on PC in the next two years. It's not dying, some devs and programmers are just lazy(cough,Ubish!t,cough
). They know that they can release crappy ports and people will lap it up anyway. Why else would they release one unfinished game after another??
