From the author of Galactic Civilizations I and II:
"So don't talk to me about piracy. It's not the pirates that have ripped us off of hundreds of thousands in lost royalties. It's been "Real businesses" doing that thank you very much. The position of royalty eating parasite has already been taken."...
"So yea, tell me again how I need to put some dongle or whatever on my game to keep 15 year olds from pirating? When our contract with publishers forces them to wear a shock collar that I can press a button to shock them if royalties aren't paid on time then we'll talk about forcing customers to deal with massive copy protection. But it's not the pirates I worry about."
This seems to fit with the rant I had about Software:Music the other day. Wonder who he means by publisher in the game world. Words can have different meanings from discipline to discipline. A producer in the music world is more like the director in the Film world, than the movie producer... etc. 4:17:50 PM
