Jack G has put up another
article expressing his thoughts on a plague which currently covers the gaming industry - software piracy. In the article, Jack explains the recent code leak at Valve and what it means for the future of gamers. Here's a snip:
I know that if I were a developer, and the only surefire way of guaranteeing my security was to use Palladium, then you can be damn sure I'd throw all of my support behind it. Given the descriptions of Palladium so far, it would have stopped most of what Valve claims took place. And why not? In an age where people are going to go out of their way to break in to your computer and steal everything they can, why not go with the surefire form of protection?
Even if you aren't a diehard gamer, the article is worth a read. Move to the
State of the Game Industry column and check it out.
