Its a joke. Its like controlling a 1970's robot You cant aim and it looks like crap Make better copy protection. Link the DVD's to the user's name They also have to understand that a game as demanding as Crysis is not going to sell as well. I personally did not buy it until I upgraded my computer because the demo played like crap These guys also have to understand that if they all adandon the PC market all the hackers will focus 100% on making a much easier way to make consoles play copies No serious gamer would play a FPS with a gamepad.

I'm sure piracy is a problem, but the PC games industry has way more problems than just that. I don't see why you'd want to be PC exclusive if you could avoid it anyway, seems like restricting your market unnecessarily.

I always found it sort of funny how companies seem like they give the impression that no piracy goes on the console side of things at all. Thanks for the link guys.
