Saints Row Creators Don’t Mind If You Want To Pirate Their Games…

Volition, the team behind upcoming THQ games Saints Row: The Third and Red Faction: Armageddon, is still in the business of making their games for the PC, without worrying about the platform’s rampant piracy problems. “I don’t think [piracy]is something at the forefront for us,” Volition studio manager Eric Barker tells Eurogamer. “First and foremost, we want to make sure we’re making a game people would want to pirate.”

Is the PC dying as a video game platform? Or is it the future? “We definitely believe PC games are great and if they’re done right and done well by a studio, they’re phenomenal,” Barker says, touting the studio’s next Red Faction game as “beautiful” on PC hardware.

    1) Make it require Steam. That’s it. No other DRM.
    2) Success! You haven’t enraged fans and lost sales!

      Are you seriously implying that games released on Steam are unable to be pirated?

      Because they are like really easy.

        He’s implying that Steam sucks. I bought Homefront and I STILL Can’t install it due to steam freezing on me and the forums are useless.

        They’re a Pro at shafting people

        but if steam finds a pirated game… they kill your account and you lose all of your games… thus it’s in your best interest not too… and perhaps ban you from the service.
