Wonder what Denuvo is going to do about this
Fitgirl's statement:
Yes, I know PRAGMATA release files have been leaked. Yes, I know that PRAGMATA was Hypervisor-bypassed. No, I won’t put my repack before an official release date and time. I don’t support leaks and I don’t like when people do something for hype only. Legit users, who paid for their game deserve to play it first. Not the pirates. It doesn’t matter how much you hate Denuvo or Capcom, those games are there because people buy something from developers and publishers. And when those who don’t pay get an Advanced Access while legit customers suck their fingers is just plain wrong.
Of course, not every releaser share my principles and you’ll see releases popping here and there, but I’ll keep my stance. Leaks are bad. Don’t do leaks. Don’t use leaks. You’ve waited for years, you can wait a few hours more.
yeah, they have been paid and I'm assuming they also want to keep getting paid instead of getting laid off, possibly even make another game! a wild concept, I know
hilarious thing to post after the last few years of watching companies release extremely successful games and then fire everyone anyways
Hey, that's because the layoffs created more value for shareholders! Of course, the company could just decide the last one wasn't successful enough, like Capcom and Square Enix did after Resident Evil 6 and the new Tomb Raider sold millions of copies.
The liberal mind is truly an enigma
did capcom do layoffs? no? what's that, did they actually give people a raise? https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/while-other-gaming-companies-talk-layoffs-capcom-is-raising-salaries/
oh, it's almost like generalizing everything with sweeping statements is not useful and doesn't override the reality where things cost money regardless of shitty execs making shitty decisions
meh, this entire argument hinges on piracy hurting sales when that's not the case at all
I'm pretty sure that the CEO salary alone can cover any money loss that a leak like this can cause... Laying off devs because of something like this is unjustified.
Never said that wasn't the case. And as I mentioned in another comment - I don't think there's much damage from leaks like this, because you have to REALLY want to play it if you're willing to go through with the hypervisor bypass. I was arguing against a general statement of "who cares, they've already been paid, just pirate it". The leaks themselves are just kinda bad taste tbh?
