VALVE: Kita Tidak Khawatir dengan Pembajakan

[orangpelupa]

Nggak seperti perusahaan gede lainnya yang menganggap pembajakan sebagai ancaman serius, presiden VALVE Gabe Newell merasa pembajakan itu bukan ancaman besar.

"When you list the things that we worry about in our business, piracy is not one of them,"

"We've got great facilities that make it very hard for people to pirate. And more importantly, the service value of having an ongoing relationship with us is high enough that it causes people to not be very interested in piracy.

"It's a dangerous thing to pirate one of our games because later on, when we catch you, you lose all your games, or you can't play multiplayer."

Dan menurut Jason Holtman (dari Valve juga), masalah ketakutan akan pembajakan seperti di Cina dan Russia sebenarnya dapat diselesaikan cukup mudah.

Dia mengatakan bahwa Valve menyelesaikan masalah pembajakan internasional dengan menerbitkan game secara serentak di seluruh dunia, nggak seperti penerbit lain yang bisa terlambat 6 bulan dalam menerbitkan game diluar US.

"We know that that's the major place where this rampant piracy myth comes from," Holtman said speaking of Russia. "Rampant piracy is just unserved customers."

"Russians have money, Russians like to play games and Russians have PCs. They love going to stores and not having to use Bittorrent sties."

gw setuju nih sama model bisnis valve,
berikan apa yang menjadi hak konsumen, berikan benefit dari memiliki original game,
Rilis game secara simultan diseluruh dunia.

maka gamer yang memang "potential buyer" pasti akan membeli Original.

kalo kita, di indonesia, kita bukan potential buyer, jadi tetap game "petani" all-the-way

Tentu aja Valve gak khawatir karena dia jalan game di Stream yg sulit dibajak.

[orangpelupa]

Stream gampang dibajak tuh kalo gw baca di afterdawn.com nya

Cuman untuk potential buyer kayak di eropa malah (menurut comments disono) suka sama stream.

Gak perlu repot backup game mereka.
Karena kalo ilang/rusak tinggal download lagi gratis
Sekali beli untuk selamanya.

Kalo eropa sih inet kenceng. Indonesia? Speedy aja pedot teruss

[dheophe]

Mudah2an ada pihak yg mo bikin server Stream di Indonesia ya

lah jika main online by inet... ya game2 pc non ori ya susah.... tp gimana jika main game secara offline???

[orangpelupa]

dengar kata offline kok gw ingat RBO yah

ragnarok battle offline

[Blebekblebek]

kyknya makin hari posisi game main offline atau lawan AI bakalan makin ga diminati...
tp idenya valve emang mantab sih
