Hi Sandy, I hope you’re well. I have appreciated the recent discussions. I do not agree with your framing.

Regarding piracy, DOOM is a complicated example because shareware was the model. DOOM’s first episode was designed to be freely copied, passed around, uploaded, installed, and played. That enormous unpaid audience was not the same thing as piracy. It was part of how DOOM reached the world.

By the mid-90s, DOOM had something like 20 million shareware installs and more than 2 million paid copies sold. Those 20 million people were not “pirates” by default. A huge number of them were playing the free episode exactly as intended.

That doesn’t excuse people pirating the registered game. However, it’s important not to collapse legal shareware distribution, unpaid reach, and actual piracy into one number.

I also don’t think piracy is what “gutted” id - id is still around and still making games. Piracy may have cost money, but it wasn’t the reason Quake was hard or why people eventually went different ways.

So yes: pay developers. Buy the games you love. Support the people who make them.

But history is messier than “pirates killed the companies.” Sometimes the same free distribution that looked like lost sales was also the thing that made the game impossible to ignore.

@Pirat_Nation That should be done for electronics as well

Tekken 8 recreated the entire viral incident of the man protecting his dog from a kangaroo with Leroy and Sugar even down to giving Leroy the man's exact outfit. This is hilarious!

@G2A_ES The demake for switch would be my favorite as it requests you to add some of your personal fantasy to complete the paint 🤣🤣🤣

@TakiUdon_ Do you do the disc reader wobbling test on every dock? 🤣🤣

@SandyofCthulhu Name the companies that have been ruined by piracy. It's a great idea to list two games to play and include the cover image of an unlisted game.

[Med4Tweety @Saimon85ita]

@ygorz01 @SandyofCthulhu Luckily we had piracy, otherwise those software would have risked being lost forever, since companies tend to lose them.

@pr4m0d @Pirat_Nation One TB??? Ahahah, you would be forced to completely wipe your PS5 internal disk or buy another just for this game. Crazy stuff.
They literally just could have put the initial menu on the disk and still grant licence transfer at least.

[Med4Tweety @Saimon85ita]

@Pirat_Nation I honestly understand them and I respect them for that. It's a shame they have to lose their profits when other chains have given a damn about it.

Reviews are in. No balance-changes, 7 frame-input lag still there, no rollback, no crossplay, no DLC included, have to rebuy two characters even if you own them, still no TAG MODE and delisted the original.

Adds photomode, and new visuals on a stage and promise of new DLC. Man..

A Statement from VGP Regarding Grand Theft Auto VI

As gamers and retailers, we recognize that Grand Theft Auto VI is poised to be one of the biggest entertainment launches in history. The excitement surrounding this release is unprecedented, and we understand why so many customers are eagerly anticipating its arrival.

For nearly 40 years, VGP has been committed to supporting physical media and preserving the value of physical game ownership. As part of that commitment, our company policy is that we do not carry physical products for video game consoles that contain only a digital download code.

Based on the information currently available, the physical release of Grand Theft Auto VI for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is expected to be a code-in-box product. As a result, VGP will not be offering it for sale under our current company policy.

We want to be clear that this decision is not a reflection of the game itself. We have tremendous respect for Rockstar Games and the incredible achievement that Grand Theft Auto VI represents.

Should Rockstar one day release a physical edition containing a disc in the box, we would be pleased to carry and support that version for our customers.

Thank you for your continued support of physical gaming and for helping us champion game preservation and ownership for nearly four decades.

— The VGP Team
