Comment If they offered a good service... (Score 1) 282

...pirating will be a non-issue. I love GoT, and I *paid* HBO for their GO service, to be able to watch the episodes the moment they're out, to avoid any spoilers. What happens? The day of the premiere, HBO Go crashes and burns down for both the East and the West US Coasts, and all Latin American. To add insult to injury, they didn't release any official communicate until *after* 15 minutes of the begginning of the episode, suggesting to watch the episode on "pay tv". Had I wanted pay tv, I would have contracted pay tv! What did I do?, I found an "alternative" stream and watched the episode live. I dare anyone to call me a pirate, I had already paid for the service and they didn't deliver. It's not like they didn't knew the premiere would have massive demand, and prepare accordingly, I'ts been six freaking years!

Games are expensive at launch, but prices quickly fall down. Take Nier Automata for example, a highly awaited AAA game. On launch day, it was $60 at retail, $60 at PSN yet around 52 usd at Steam. Not much of a difference, but wait a couple months or the Summer Sale, and it will probably go for 20-30 usd tops. In such a timespan, it will hardly go down in price at retail or PSN, if at all.
