Crytek: Piracy Has Hurt PC-Only Games
CrysisBy now, most of you know that Crysis 2 will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well as the PC. But in addition to having the potential for more sales, there's another pressing reason Crytek went this direction.
In a recent PC Play interview with Crytek Director of Business Development and Engine Licensing, Carl Jones, we learn a few things about the process of delivering Crysis 2 to console owners. When asked about the CryEngine 2 and the licensing that went along with it, Jones said:
"Licensing a PC-only engine was made difficult in the last few years due to the changing nature of the games market itself. Piracy hurt PC-only games in terms of sales figures, so publishers and developers moved away from making such titles. As a result, console middleware was more widespread than PC focused technology such as CryENGINE® 1 and 2, but we have had some great successes and developers are working on great looking games that will launch soon, that started out on earlier versions of CryENGINE®. We’re happy with the quality we achieved, but circumstances limited the quantity of licensees we signed up. That won’t be an issue with CryENGINE® 3!"
Well, that's good to know; piracy is something that has plagued the PC world for years. They also continue to look forward to the CryEngine 3, which already has plenty of hype behind it. For our part, while we certainly understand the reasons for Crysis 2 to come to the PS3, we've always said to play a game based on the platform it was initially designed for. I.e., play Final Fantasy XIII on the PS3, play Bayonetta on the Xbox 360...play Crysis 2 on the PC. When a game is made with multiple platforms in mind - like most titles are - that's a whole different story. But in this case... Well, we'll just have to wait and see.

One could argue that it's due to piracy, one could also argue that it's simply too lucrative to go multi-platform. But, for the most part it will still come out for PC, and well...hardware provided the results will be superior.
But still, that's merely the high-end market. What about card games? Mahjong? MMO's? RTS'? Chess and other board games. Poker and other casino based games that require little to no PC to use. You're telling me those are going somewhere? I just don't buy it. The x86 architecture is just too familiar a beast...for developers small/large to simply ignore. Look at how long it's taken to get 3rd parties to remove their collective heads from their asses and figure out properly what to do with the Cell.
Anyway, my thoughts are, you'll likely not see any PC only games any longer, and certainly not nearly as many as in the past (Wonder about Diablo 3 and SC2?). But you'll still see a thriving market there, simply from sheer numbers (220 million PC's worldwide capable of playing games).

Folks need to realize and recognize that piracy is bad for EVERYONE. Sure home brew freaks can blather on about how their custom firmware adds functionality, or allows them to play backups, or run emulators (which generally only play pirated ROMS anyways). But the biggest single feature of custom firmware or console modding is the ability to play pirated games. Sure it's dressed up as the ability to play from a backup disk, but that's not kidding anyone any more is it? The vast majority of use of that kind of feature is to play games that have been torrented and burned to DVD, and not paid for.
Time after time game developers and publishers have said this was a problem, and here is CryTek vocally being the latest example.
It's simple economics. Between the sales of new games lost to the trade-in market at GameStop and the like, and the rampant piracy that plagues platforms such as PC, PSP and 360, developers are losing significant numbers of sales. If a developer anticipates a market of 5 million gamers interested in their product, what happens if a third of that market either downloads a copy or buys it second hand? The market drops to a little over 3 million. I don't know about you, but my business couldn't withstand losing a significant fraction of my customers.
Whether people want to admit it or not, piracy is killing parts of the gaming industry. Get it through your heads people, the only way to get more games in the future is buying games in the present.
At least the PS3 is relatively secure, still. But for how long?
Gamers, consumers everywhere really need to start examining themselves and consider that their actions do matter. With so many people still attempting to steal games, music and movies by downloading them and not paying, should we really be surprised when companies in the business of providing such content try to protect themselves?

But I also believe that PC hardware market moves forward at a far quicker pace than the software tech. And moves too fast for most people to keep up. That's precisely why I decided to use me PS3 as primary games machine this generation. Having both a PS3 and an XBox is way cheaper to own than having to upgrade every 6 months.

You had to upgrade your equipment with new video cards and processor and all that jazz just to play it. People pirated it to see if it would run on their pc's. When they found out it was basically a glorified demo to sell the engine, people didn't bother going out and buying it.

Right know, there are even Blu-Ray movies that you can buy with 13$ (not much diference). But the worst is the music, where you can buy a complete discography with about 2$ (yeah, a complete DISCOGRAPHY!!) and you can find almost any artist you want, from Beethoven to Metallica.
That's even another reason that the Xbox 360 sells better, because the are pirated games for it. Most of my friends have Xboxs of Wiis, but just 2 or 3 have a PS3, because here we just know about pirated games. And,for me buying a game is a pain in the ass, because here PS3 games cost like 80 to 100$, and that is A LOT compared to the 360's games that cost 5$, and they are the same.
If there were pirated games for the PS3, I bet it would boost its sales, because in the ps2 era, EVERYONE owned a PS2, and that's because there were pirated games. I knew nobody that owned a Gamecube or an Xbox.
That's just my opinion

Right now though the only part of the games market not really being affected by piracy is the coin-op(arcade) market because people like Namco, SEGA and Taito have gotten smarter in when it come to combating piracy by the way their game software and hardware is designed.
As for the issue of piracy, while I personally will never turn to piracy for moral reasons, I honestly don't blame individuals who turn to piracy.
People don't get the fact that the industry copyright cartel which have the aid of stupid laws such as the DMCA(Digital Millenium Copyright Act) and patents is driving people to piracy in the droves, but speaking about the games industry its not just the DMCA which is forcing gamers into piracy, but the fact gamers are being scammed into paying $60 and money for DLC. If games were really priced right(not fairly) gamers wouldn't be turning to piracy or the used game market but instead buy legit software.
"Whether people want to admit it or not, piracy is killing parts of the gaming industry. Get it through your heads people, the only way to get more games in the future is buying games in the present."
How can piracy be killing part of the industry when in fact its these game developers(like crytek) which is driving gamers to piracy? Again,it doesn't help that gamers are paying for seriously overvalued games and DLC/microtransactions, all with is driving gamers to piracy. All I can is if you're going to blame someone for the rampant piracy going on don't blame the pirates, but blame the industry itself.

Oh, is it because things cost money and you don't have enough to buy everything you want? Tough, try saving and then buy. You want to whine about the cost of games today, how about looking at the cost of games on the Atari 2600 or SNES and then applying inflation. Games are far less expensive than they were then.
Honestly I'm so sick of this BS, there is no justification for copyright theft. Your convenience is not sufficient reason for you to steal, not being able to afford what is (let's face it) a luxury item, is no justification for theft.
Copyright infringement aka 'piracy' is theft. I'm not saying that the tactics of the recording arts industry are right, far from it. the RIAA and others have used tactics that are criminal in their own right. But one wrong doing does not justify another. They are not right to trample consumers in reaction to copyright theft, and consumers are not right to steal copyrighted products as a reaction to perceived wrong doing by the industry.
If you walk into a Best Buy and apply five finger discount to a game, BluRay, DVD or CD, you are committing the crime of theft, right? So, tell me how using the Internet to accomplish the theft makes it any less criminal.
I'm not trying to get on a high horse or something, this is simple right from wrong. If we all know that stealing is wrong - and I'm going to assume that we do. Why do some consider it OK to download stuff of the Net instead of paying?

i remember back in the PS1 days i bought crash bandicoot 3 for 60 bucks on release.
PS1 games use to release at 60 bucks a pop.
than PS2 games came out and they retailed for 90 bucks.
now PS3 games have released and retail for 120 bucks.
dont know about anywhere else, but game prices here have doubled since PS1 days.
hell even playstation magazines.
i remember they use to be 10 bucks back in the PS1 days.
and they were fan fu**ing tastic!
they had so many previews of games, game announcements and such months before the interwebs had it.
now days.
lets see, i picked up the latest edition of OPM AU and its got a few previews of heavy rain old, AVP old, army of two the 40th day old, darksiders old, bayonetta old.
and reviews for this months and some of last months games.
and that cost me 20 bucks.
anything i read in todays OPM AU mag i have read a month or 2 ago from IGN or whoever.
prices have gone through the roof!
gone are the days where a shave and a hair cut cut cost you six pents.
hell i got my hair cut the other day, cost me 25 bucks.
thats a long way from six pents.

There is this thing called inflation, I'm sure you've heard of it, something to do with prices rising over time...
No, seriously, I can remember paying the equivalent of $40-$60 for games back in the early 80s. I know that if inflation is applied, those prices would be at least $100-$120 today. So, I think it can be said that games are cheaper now than they have been before.

I'd love for Crytek to throw out some figures in regards to this "piracy". I'm sure they've simply seen the money that can be made on the 360 and PS3 rather than it being all about piracy.

But I'm actually right. Though I had a typo (small "s") which I was unable to correct when I noticed it, the standard abbreviation used is "P.S.", because it comes not from "postscript", but from "post scriptum", which is two words in latin.
Though the OED apparently lists "PS" as the correct form, so let's call it a draw. ;)

Unless it's simply not being talked about online, there is no PS3 custom firmware. The closest I have ever found is an ISO loader for ISO images of a BluRay that works on old phat PS3 models because of their ability to run Linux, but the new slims don't have that capability.
However to make it work, you have to essentially brick your system which isn't a very convenient hack.
There was rumored to be a mod chip, but it involved something like 13 solder points on the motherboard which of course means disassembling your PS3. Not to mention that the first firmware update from Sony that followed would be incompatible. I also note that the device has not been mentioned since I first read about it months ago.
The PS3 uses encryption and system security built into the hardware, it actively senses for tampering. When they brought the Slim to market, the ability to run more than one OS was removed. This was supposedly for cost reasons - the hypervisor costs a license fee. But the ability to run Linux was a security risk for the PS3 - it was used in the exploit allowing an ISO image placed on the HDD to boot.
PlayTV is a USB add on that is treated like a combination of controller and data source for an application running on the PS3. I don't think that it represents a chink in the security armor of the PS3 at all.

it costs more to make games exclusive for the PS3 since most programmers are not inclined with the hardware.
and lets face it ps3 exclusives sales are less than respectable.
O and TheHighlander
give them a few weeks.
i know a guy in the city who is working on this and has been for the last 2 years.
it will take them a while but he says there dam close.
than sony will release a FW update and set them back to square one ;)
but seriously, i dont think the ps3 will stay hack free for too much longer.

Folks have been saying that for two years now. Still haven't seen anything close to a boot loader.

if it was not for pirates RAGE, wolfenstine, crysis 2 and many other games would of been exclusive to the PC.
and probably would of been better because coding for 3 systems you have to take 3 weaknesses into account.
now instead of coding to PCs strong points they have to take all 3 into account.
thats why i was on the front line with flaming torch and pitchfork when they announced crysis 2 for consoles.

I understand the disparity between countries like Malaysia and the US. I'm not about to feel guilty for being born here and not there, but really, the economics isn't a good reason, and neither is "everybody is doing it". If everybody did it and no one could make a sufficient return on the cost of production, no one would be in the business of making games, music, movies or TV. It's simply not sustainable.
And as annoying and paradoxical as it is, piracy raises the prices because game developers have to cover their costs and so charge more for a product that they know will sell to a smaller audience. Sure it's not a great idea, but are they supposed to just eat the losses?
I'm sorry, I don't have an answer to the disparity between economies, no one does. But you know what, as an analogy, I would love to drive a Rolls Royce or a BMW, but instead I drive a 15 year old Nisan. The reason is pure economics. I don't like it, but it's just the way it is.

Anyway, what IF theres a pirated version of a Rolls Royce or a Beamer. A complete replica of the original, everything is the same from the perfomance and technical aspects but the cost is way way cheaper, and you could afford it. I know it won't happen but what IF? Would you purchase it? Come on, it is extremely tempting, don't you think?

I understand. Like I said, I don't have an answer, and I really don't know how anyone can really address that problem, because as you point out, culturally, there is no stigma or shame attached to it, and economically speaking, there's no alternative.
The problem for me is that people here in the 'rich' countries who can afford it, justify piracy on the basis that everyone does it, and actually reference countries like Malaysia to support their case.

Anyway, yea its not right for those 'rich' people to use the justification of 'everyone is doing it' as their reason for piracy. However, its just the mentality of people in my country even for the rich ones. Our mentality has always been 'If I can get this product for just $3, why the hell would I want to pay $60 for exactly the same product'. People here just don't see beyond the consequences of buying pirated like what will happen to game companies if people don't buy their original games. Guess people are just selfish. Well I have to admit that all of my PS2 games were pirated, shame on me, they were like US$1.50 per game though. However, now I've got a library of over 20+ PS3 games now (obviously original). Honestly, I really hope that the PS3 will remain unhackable, simply because I really support game developers that produce PS3 exclusives liek Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Guerilla and many others, and I want people to actually buy their games originally to support them for all their hardwork they put into so that they get the return/rewards that they deserved.

Long term if systems like the PS3 remain pretty much unhackable, it will have a far reaching impact, because it will force people to take more notice of copyrighted goods. Perhaps companies like Sony could look more closely at markets like Malaysia and other countries to see if there is a way to sell their products in those markets that works better for those markets. Even so, as long as it takes $XYZ million to make a game, games will have to cost $50-$60 (USD) to allow developers to make enough money to stay in business.

Anyway, in Malaysia, we don't have any retail shops like Gamestop that sells original games. Even supermarkets here don't sell any games, for example like in the US, where walmart, or bestbuy do sell games. That could be a reason why people never thought of buying original because its actually more difficult to find shops that sell original games. lol. Heck, we don't even have a ratings boards to rate games over here. Well thankgod for that, if theres actually a ratings board here, then I would say almost all games would be banned here in this country because of certain extremely "conservative" group of people here. Well if you live in my country, then you would understand what I mean.
Anyway, games sold in my country are basically by people or shall I say vendors who purchase them from two Big suppliers who supplies games to all the shops in Malaysia. That is why when purchasing games here, we can choose games from other regions. Each region are priced differently. At the moment, Region 1 games, which is the US are priced more expensive. Not sure the reason though. Maybe because region 1 games have more DLC or something like that. However, most people still purchase region 3 for online purposes.

To provide a better insight on how conservative my country can be is by taking an example of watching movie in a theatre. Even though the movie is rated 18-sx, which means only 18 and above. The show still gets censored, even kissing scenes get cut off. Kissing man!! kissing!!! why the f*** would they still rate the movie if the whole f***king show were to be censored. After censoring scenes in the movie, the movie is basically suitable for general audience, and yet they would not allow people below 18 to watch. Saying that these people who rates the movie are dumb is an understatement. That is why these 'conservative' people are actually sitting on the seat of power. So sad :(

there both relating to sales no?
anyway.
crytek better not dumb down the PC version for consoles otherwise im going to be seriously PISSED!
its really disappointing this is why the PC industry has gone down the sh*tter.
because developers are no longer creating exclusives for the PC, so now there limited to what they can do and now because of that the quality of PC games is sinking.
hey crytek gave us crysis on old crappy 9800GTX video cards, imagine what they could give us today.
crysis 2 on PC better make me crap my pants the way the original did otherwise crytek is getting some angry phone calls and letters.
same goes to valve, ID, basically all previous PC exclusive developers who have now sold their soul to the devil.
