Always this knee-jerk bullshit. If piracy isn't a concern, then why is every house on the planet moving to DRM their products? Why? How do you convince someone to give you development funds when the first thing they say to you is, 'my kid downloaded your last game for free? Why shouldn't he do...

Phys X disagrees with you. (Yes, it took a while. See my next point.) And if AMD don't give Freesync away, no one will use it. They're behind and have been for some time, now. Why would they hold something as proprietary when the majority consumer isn't engaging with their products in the first...

And which sector will have it's development funds cut first, do you think? The walled-garden, static hardware, low expectation console-driven sector, or the elitist, piracy-ridden, non-standard PC-lead houses? (Indie is not relevant to this discussion, nor is it limited to PC anymore, either.)...

Edit: hmm, no, ignore me. They're still there.

What's this got to do with whether or not products are profitable, and staff can pay their mortgages? Stop looking at this from your perspective. Your perspective has shit all to do with the business of funding, making, and selling, computer games. Put bluntly, you're going to buy this stuff...

That's not what John said, and much of ETQW's problems were due to the implementation of megatexture, not the underlying API. John thought he was being smart, and gambled on the hardware industry moving in a predictable fashion. By Rage, it became obvious he'd judged wrong. He's now fucking...

It really isn't that cut and dried.

Valve can't fuck anyone over, not really. There are plenty of terms and conditions imposed on both sides in the small print, to ensure participants all play nicely. What Valve do to, (really rather effectively,) is suck money out of your profitability. After all, why shouldn't they? They have...

Origin and Uplay are all about locking in a customer base, and much of that, (other than the benefits for direct point of sale marketing, of removing the middle-man, thus of distribution cost-cutting) is about being able to approach investors with concrete figures for engagement, historical...

And on that point, you're completely and utterly wrong. There is a very real and looming API war going on right now, and the coming of Windows 10 and SteamOS is a huge play between various movers and shakers to concrete their position in that war. There are good reasons that Microsoft is giving...

Steam sales have sucked the lifesblood out of the PC sector, indeed. It wasn't so bad when the consumer didn't notice DLC prices were inflated to compensate, but those days are long gone. More often than not, the attach rate plummets until the DLC goes into the bargin bin as well.

No, some of what @NightAntilli has said about DX11 is spot on, but I can't get into that without getting myself in trouble. But that's neither here nor there when it comes to the state of recent ports. The ports are bad because PC is often no longer the lead platform, because conversion teams...

For a very, very small number of houses, backed by an even smaller number of publishers. And in some cases, that success is freak and unexpected, (see LoL as a perfect example.) Bums on seats doesn't make for a healthy industry when the price of admission is so varied, and polarized. Look at the...

LoL, Dota2, WoW, xyz 4v1 game - these titles are not the industry norm. You can count the lucrative ones without needing a pen and paper to keep track, and even then, you're not seeing the breakdown on those takings, just the amount shifted. Honestly, you want to see the other side of the...

I'm certainly not pulling that out of my arse. I'm in NDA testing, and have been for fifteen odd years. Outside indie and kickstarter, PC gaming has a seriously bleak outlook. You don't even want to know what's going on internally at the big studios right now. I have more friends out of work...

There's no such thing as 'PC bound.' Even the cheapest true gaming machine is near double the price of a PS4 or a bone. If you afford the former, you can definitely afford one of the latter. Just buy a damn console and be done with it. PC gaming is dead, anyway, outside of indie rubbish and...

This. No, seriously this. Anyone buying this crap has no right to complain later, when 6 is a bug infested, half-arsed pile of shite.

Like I say, though, you'll almost certainly need to do a PS4 reset to get this all working. I don't know anyone who has it working now who hasn't had to.

The catalog, or the costume? The costume shouldn't be on the store - you can't buy it separately. The catalog is here: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-gb/doa5lr-costume-catalog-4/cid=EP4108-CUSA01601_00-CATALOGSEASON000

It's still there, but it's not actually category linked to DoA. Search for 'doa5lr' in the general search box. Sort by price, high to low. It's the first item on the list, next to the Ultimate Content pack...
