Despite the recent reports relating to the spread of a build pirate Crysis 2, some say that piracy on the PC is in sharp decline. "What is interesting [according to research PCGA] is that piracy has had its best time period in which everything was based on physical media and was therefore sufficient to find the crack just to play," said Matt Ployhar, President of the PC Gaming Alliance during an interview with Gamasutra.
"In some cases the crack was developed even before the game to reach round the shops. Now the situation has changed radically." "The only business model that still seems to bear fruit about the MMO. They sell well because piracy is far more complex than it is for more traditional games." "And then there are the free-to-play that are almost impossible to hack more than anything else because it makes no sense.
And all of this, oddly enough, means that PC piracy is declining." "This is not to say that is disappearing, but it's fascinating to see how the developers are fighting. Things like the achievement, for example, can not be used with pirated copies, and this limited, albeit marginally, the quality of products use them.
" "In short, you can also hack into any game, but you would hardly meet the same fun it would receive a player who decides to buy the game regularly."
