Did anyone check out the latest steam sales for the week ending 21 March?
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2
- Dragon Age: Origins Awakening
- Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Chaos Rising
- Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight
- Metro 2033
- Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe Edition
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- Assassin's Creed 2
- Aliens vs. Predator
- Supreme Commander 2
I thought that being immune to piracy would make Assassins Creed 2 number one, and not lag behind pirated games with weak DRM and relative unknowns like Metro 2033! After all, the Anti-Piracy Brigades(APB) have stated that every pirated game is a lost sale and with 1 million copies of the original Assassins Creed being pirated that should mean 1 million extra sales of AC2, right? Err....right APB fanatics? Another nail in the coffin of the piracy affects sales theory.
Check out Dragon Age with virtually no DRM and how well it sells!
If I was a UBI exec I'd order the removal of the DRM as soon as possible. Doesn't seem to help with sales even without pirates.
