Legalization of counterfeit (good or bad?) [X]
Recently, on TV they always show that somewhere they found something, poured it out or rolled it out with a roller. Why wouldn't pirates be licensed? So that they, too, could sell discs, licensed, with only a reasonable price. Then everyone will live better - more taxes will go to the state, cops and riot police will not have to check so much, and people will live more calmly. What do you think about this?Muskwiches to shine.
Sorry to burst.
You bring everything to yourself from all over the country.
And you dare to say that our incomes allow us.
ENOUGH!!!!
LEAVE DEER SKINS TO THE CHUKCHES !!! 1 TO THE SIBERIANS,
TREES AND COAL !!!!!
Buy from us, and not cover all the wealth of the country as a capital.
2 Helen the Ripper: I had a CD with FEAR and Half-life 2. Nothing worked, but only 60 rubles.
Zharkovich what are you talking about? I'm also not from Moscow - and to the nearest large city - 3 hours on the electron. As a couple, I still don't understand you :)

And just like that, the amazing picture 10in1 suits ??? What are we looking at? An hour not on a portable TV set 5 inches black and white ??? :) Because even on an ordinary 21-inch TV set, all these squares and artifacts are visible with the naked eye from a distance of 3 meters!
Th-t I remembered, somewhere in Europe, a man - the owner of a cinema - did the following thing: you enter the show for free, but you pay at the exit and only if you liked the movie. we, of course, will not have this soon
AAAAA Zharkovich Well done !!!!
I am for the pirates, because nah me a disk for 300 rubles (well, if I am HL2 or KS1.6), if the game is not designed for the Internet (with SD kei), then I will buy myself a pirate

Yeah - so if you need a key or good protection - we reluctantly give 200-300r to the bourgeoisie? And if you do not need it, you can buy from pirates for 100-150 ??? Well this is nonsense! By purchasing a license, you both support our localizers and the game developer, and get support from their side. And when you buy from pirates, you drain both the developer and the localizer, but the pirates who spent 2 rubles on stamping are welded like a fuck! And besides, you get a shitty quality translation and with a high chance of ruining the game altogether. In the second case, those who bought this shit climb on the PG and squeal like cut - oh blah help me on the 2nd level the din hangs, or oh, how to start - then the pirates screwed this up to remove the protection - it doesn't work for me - it's funny, fuck!
Show me the LOCALIZATION of Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic and I will take one license.
SW KoTOR2 For example, she published 1C and Nival - normal localization, but the fact that no one took up KoTOR does not mean that in Russia it was impossible to buy the original disc! Those who need it (and KoTOR was an awesome game and many SG fans were looking for it) bought or ordered the original !!!
Yes, probably not soon we will have this "Soviet" thinking: even though it's shit, if only it's cheaper / for free ... It's a shame ...
If someone doesn't know, if a licensed disc costs 250-300 rubles, then this is 3 (!!!) times cheaper than its cost, since in European countries it will cost $ 30- $ 40. To achieve such a price reduction, believe me, is very difficult, by world standards, practically, by the way, for free. It is necessary to rejoice, and not to run to the pirates for a cheap handicraft.
And the question is not even that people spoil their impression of the game, waste their nerves, etc., but that they STEAL it. Buying a pirate disc is STEALING. I, as a programmer, would be offended if my program was bought not from me, but from completely left peppers, who already have a lot of money, so they also profit from someone else's work ... Therefore, personally, I only buy licensed disks, wait for localizations or at least publications on the territory of Russia.
The good news is that according to the statistics of pirated discs, they began to buy less and paid attention to licenses. So the people still understand what is best for them.
PS "Legalization of counterfeit" ... I have never heard anything more stupid ... Any product is sold at prices calculated from various economic indicators (cost price + planned profit), they are not taken from the ceiling. No one will work at a loss.
In general, the topic is incorrectly formulated! We have counterfeit legalized by default - you come to the store, buy a PIRATE disc, you get a CHECK and they give you a guarantee for a day or two! Amazing service !!! It is necessary not to legalize it, but to drive it underground !!! So that those who need a pirate go to Gorbuha or other points - and the shops under the glass need to be cleaned !!! Although it sounds scary (he himself is tied in this business), this is the only way people will begin to cleanse their heads! Another thing is the price tags for a license - you need to lower it unambiguously - especially in the regions !!! And then a person will think, having come to a chic store - what is better to take a NORMAL LICENSE PRODUCT here than to go to hell on the cake for a pirate and it is not known whether it will work or not !!!
The point is quite different.
I was looking for a
Splinter Cell Pandora Tumorow license the other day .
I traveled around all the shops with a license that I knew.
BUT SHYSH !!!
Nowhere.
I had to take a pirate for 40 rubles. (changed the disk with, do not believe it, Enter the Matrix)
Well, plus to everything.
Localization prihoditsa sometimes wait a long time (we all remember what happened to SC:? Chaos Theory)
So, what else grandmother two told what is best.
This is not a solvable question.
Well, or it is very difficult to solve it.
It is more difficult than solving the equation of the systematic velocity change through the defirential of the flow inductance.
PS
I do not know what this equation is.
It probably does not exist in nature.
Most likely we have been waiting for the release of the license for so long because our games cost not $ 29.99 or $ 39.99, but 200-300r damn! So we are waiting - when we will be allowed to trade at such prices - and bastard localizers pull rubber !!!
