Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Price

As I mentioned in another post, when pirating a game you don't steal from the developper but you steal from the publisher. So Johnson stole from CDV (yay). Still shame on you, Johnson for saying it in the official forum. You might've hurt someone's feelings (I can't believe I am saying that!). Plus you missed the well done instruction manual. Oh well...

Where do you think we need our money from?...

Question: Do you get royalties per sale? (since you seem to imply that)

Even so, I'd still have to disagree with DEATHATTHEDOOR a little bit: Even if Larian was paid beforehand, they still would need good sales. Because if everybody pirated their game, there would be no recorded sales, e.g. no profit for CDV, a bad game for Larian and no funding for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> or <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />2. I mean, Looking Glass was a fine company with fine games, but they were pirated so badly they went bankrupt and we don't want that to happen to Larian do we? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yes, but unfortunately they went out with the tide, and could not keep the boat afloat. R.I.P. Gathering of Developers.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> They had some good games too...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I bought <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> 1 day before it was officially released in germany, played it the whole night (until the sun was rising <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />) only to recognize after
12h of gameplay, that a new patch was released, and no old savegame could be importet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> ...but i fought my way through the game with v0.99 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
damn!...looks like i'm <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> already

well, what i wanted to say is, that i didn't really care about the price, because i wanted the game and i thought (and still think), that a small developer team like the larians (exept the publisher <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />) deserves every euro, the game costs!

But, when i look at such hyped titles like Unreal2 (with aubout 5-7h of gameplay <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />) or warcraft III ...i dont feel ashamed of owning a pirate copy, cause i know these games will sell often enough / are not reliant upon every sold copy...and without the posibility of getting a pirate copy, i wouldnt't have bought them either!

Alright, alright, sorry. Anyway Larian is not a company who's games I'd pirate (unlike Betseda: DIE BETSEDA!). I will buy RR and maybe even DD2.

looks like we have a lot of pirates of the larian here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

I don't mind about being called a pirate when I am pirating.
I don't mind about being called a pirate when I just pirated.
I don't mind about being called a pirate when I am about to pirate.
I don't mind about being called a pirate when I am thinking of pirating.
I DO!!! mind about being called a pirate when I am not pirating!!!
So we have maybe one or two Larian pirates which is not too much... I am not one... Even if snobee comes for revenge...

Knock, knock... DEATHATTHEDOOR...Aye, it's a grrrr-eat day ta die! Arrrghh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
but shiver me timbers matey,
i nary heard mention of your name,
just a general insuts towards everybody posting here, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
not you in particular..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
so Cheer up DATD, and have yerself a great day,
spreading your welcome arms,
to the unsuspecting! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

since u don't know what a pirate is, u better catch the movie 'pirates of the carriBEAN'. yep, starring johnny depp & bean.

if u are still not sure, u can ask faile as she's elvish sailor.

by the way, it wasn't kiya that said u're a piece of work.

take that mask off your face johnsonn your brain's not getting enough air.....

Better now?

Pirates of the carribean?! Can you please post in the movie forum and write about it? If you want of course, I am very interested in that movie.

Jurak, your avatar is... original. I can't look away from it.

sorry deathatthedoor, i haven't watch the movie myself. just saw the poster & banners on the web. if u are really interested, u can go to http://filmforce.ign.com for the review.

sorry lynn, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />

jurak has that face since eating johnson's chocolate in the packmule thread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

i posted it..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

movie section.....this way --------------->

Sorry for the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> guys.

Jurak, what I needed is someone's opinion about the movie. Better someone I know a bit. I know the official site, I know the movie has Johnny Depp, it was made by Disney, there was a game developped by Akella and published by Betseda (die, Betty!) and the movie was about pirates.
Thanks for your attention though, Green one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />.

hmm price... i had trouble finding it in hawaii but i did and it was the last copy and the box had been openned. i made it very clear to the store that i would return it if it didn't work... but it did. i paid.... 39.99 but it went down the 36 or 37 after i bought it.

I'm still wondering how Johnson made a copy. A friend of mine wanted a copy but couldn't find one in any of the local shops and doesn't have a card to order it online. I tried to make him one but I keep getting "Cannot Read Disk". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Eventually we worked something out and I got it for him through e-mail order but I'm just curious as to how he did it.

one word "illegally" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Erhm, which brain, please? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Johnson, I wouldn't call you a piece of work (I know a lot of German words I could call you)- I only hope, you will find out yourself one day how frustrating it is to create something and then be pirated.

We've had this topic before, your rubber conscience is well-known already - please stop to propagate illegal copies being a cavalier's delict. You're here on the official Larian Forum - carry your message on to hacker sites, they've got a better home for this.
Kiya

I think that Larian need the money. So everyone buy the game, and dont be a pirate.
