The War Z CONTROVERSY! THQ files BANKRUPTCY, The Walking Dead FREE ON iOS, & more!

Happy Wednesday! Well, maybe not SO happy. THQ filed for bankruptcy today, The War Z got removed from Steam less than 24 hours after its debut amid rumors of fraud, and EA seems keen to crank up the DRM for SimCity. In happier news, episode 1 of The Walking Dead is FREE on iOS for a limited time, and we have winners for our Street Fighter X Tekken contest!

Piracy != Stealing

Piracy is making a copy of something. Studies have shown that piracy does not effect the sales of other mediums and in fact boosts some of them. Many people who pirate will support the dev by buying the game when it is on sale or buying the next iteration in the series

Shut up you spammer

I like warz, if you dont... Its becuz ur nub. :p

[fadhlan rahim]

the chinese modified their ipad and other copied stuff, they dont copy and paste blatantly.

well still, if you want buy, dont force your will by pirating it, if you dont have money, dont pirate, just simply dont buy.

if you want the game, buy.

[mattiasjornfjord]

Ii could all be copied. The Chinese are experts at this by now for example. But sure, you need the raw metals, leather etc. Just as you need electric power, internet connection, harddrive-space etc for the copy and paste. It isn't stealing but you could say it's morally wrong to use someones intellectual property without paying them for it. But it's seldom the devs you are paying, it's most often a major company that already payed the devs and is now capitalising on the product.

[fadhlan rahim]

when you make exact copy of mine, you need a resource, the raw metal the leather engine etc etc, when you make copy of game, its copy and paste.

[mattiasjornfjord]

If I like your car so much that I make an exact copy so you still have your car and I also have a slightly crappier but in most ways exactly the same car. have you lost anything? Even if you were the car maker himself, what have you lost? A potential buy at most.

You can feel intellectually robbed and see no meaning in making more cars but you haven't really lost anything, you just haven't gained from it. If I buy one of your cars next time because I liked the copy. What have you then lost?

[fadhlan rahim]

forcing will againts other, you are a dick then, i have a car, you want it, i want you pay for it, you take it instead of pay for it. you are a dick

[epicdudetrem]

it might be illegal in some places on earth. Being gay is illegal in many places too.

[epicdudetrem]

Yo, faggot. I really like your review. But please stop spreading bullshit that DUPLICATING is STEALING.

[UltraPic]

Why, he hocks buggy crap like warz

[vegetaover9000]

in the steam store page where the game was posted before it was taken down. There might still be some pictures floating around the internet about that
