Fantastic, not to steep specs, most of the PC gamer crowd out there has a dual or quad core these days, and if you don`t, they are not too expensive to buy.
Please folks, try and support the PC plattform, buy the game on PC, get great graphics, better controls and a much more immersive experience ^_^
Also, do not download the game from any torrent site or client, try and report user who do so. Remember, this is about economics, and if we want games to still be great, without getting flaws and bugs, buy the game, support the developers and stop this piracy thing.
It is stealing, there is no two ways about it, a game on a disc is still the same game on a server/harddrive. The code is the same.
Aside from consoles vs PC fanboyism (graphic, better controls, more "immersive" experience...), your standing is not in line with the idea of free economy.
We shouldn't buy something to help it develop or support it when it's withering. If it were an important industry the state would support and protect it with our tax money (look at the treatment banks are getting), and if something is not commercially sound, it will get slaughtered by the competition.
That is the way capitalism works. I am not saying that is the ideal way, but if you live in such a system, you should understand the world around you.
And piracy is a crime. But so is jaywalking. And if there is no efficient and effective way to prevent or punish a certain crime, than no amount of pleading will get people to cross the road only on the marked spot.
If today publishers do not find efficient and effective way to stop piracy, maybe somebody else will. Tomorrow. Just like the original creators didn't have the money or time or whatever to make the third Fallout. But somebody else did. And no one was thinking: "let's buy more Fallout 1 & 2 copies and we will get Fallout 3". They went down (or whatever), we are buying the new Fallout (me on PS3) and the world goes on.
Wow, while I agree with you and fully plan to buy fallout 3 for pc and likely ps3 for exactly these reasons, I do not support the ridiculous croneyism you're promoting. Copyright law on reproduction is still pretty gray, or more cases would stick. Your suggestion of making this the "I'll tell on you!" internet makes me nauseous. Net neutrality anyone? It's people who are ok with this sort of big brother idea who make it hard for us to fight from the bottom up for open-source and anti-spyware/malware issues. Do we want more DRM? Enough people are looking out for media publishers, please don't make it worse by setting a precedent of encouragement or antagonism on either side. We all know there are terabytes of pirated data out there on the internet. Let the courts figure that out. Pirating will obviously not go away anytime soon, it's been a problem as long as it's been possible, and it's massive prevalence precludes any action you could possibly take to make it go away. It's positive action that will make this problem into a non-issue, not more of the same crap. Support the best companies as best as you can and speak out as to why the platform can be, and is, successful.
