Novo doba PC piraterije?

The Dishwasher - Vampire Smile unofficially ported to PC!

Ska Studios' stylish black-and-white-with-red-all-over slice-'em-up, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, has been ported from its native home of XBLA onto PC with one hitch: it's not an official port

Instead, Russian hacker Barabus, took it upon himself to spread the joy and mirth of Vampire Smile to the PC crowd by pirating the 2011 game without Ska's permission. "I have to argue that the part of the authors are not very nice to publish the game exclusively for the Xbox 360, making it impossible for PC gamers to play in such a great game," wrote Barabus on the GameDev.ru forums (via Google Translate).

"We do not steal the game for the Xbox 360, we release it for the PC port," Barabus continued. "Given that developers ignore the PC platform, about any loss of profit for them is not out of the question. After all, if they wanted to earn money, then the game would be issued on all available platforms. If the game came out on PC officially, then this thread would not exist."

Of course, this does cut into sales in the sense that many people own both Xbox 360s and PCs, so one could potentially just pirate the PC version instead.

Amazingly, Ska Studios founder James Silva doesn't have that big an issue with his game being spread around the interwebs. "I guess you could say my reaction is mixed," Silva told IndieStatik. "I'm flattered that there's this much interest in Vampire Smile on PC. I'm not mad about the crack itself, in fact, I'm actually pretty impressed. But I'm bewildered by the cracker's attempt to justify the morality of it. He assumes a lot about why Vampire Smile's not on PC yet, and he could have cleared up a lot of those assumptions by just emailing me. I get that piracy is a service problem, but that's a consequence, not a justification."

To this, Barabus responded in a comment to the IndieStatik report, "Users always have the option to pay for the game or not. This also applies to Xbox 360 which has the opportunity to play pirated games."

He then explained that the PC version lacked some of the XBLA original's features such as co-op, online play, and achievements. "Original Xbox 360 version for pirates is more attractive. I gave only the opportunity to play for those people who have no Xbox 360."

"This is not piracy. This is restoration of justice."

Da li ovo znaci novu eru PC piraterije, s obzirom da otvara vrata za portovanje drugih xbox ekskluziva na PC? Ono sto me najvise interesuje jeste kako bi ovo funkcionisalo kad su u pitanju "next gen" igre, s obirom da su Xbone i PS4 sada veoma slicni PC-ju. Ovako nesto niko nije ocekivao niti mislio a je moguce(bar ja nisam)! Voleo bih da cujem misljenje drugih forumasa na ovu temu.

ja kako sam obavešten XBOX igre se prave u DirectX, tako da su dosta slične PC igrama.. što se tiče PS trebaće neki emulator

[3LANCER]

Igra pravljena u XNA, port na PC je bukvalno nekoliko klikova.
Inace su nakon ovoga autori ipak odlucili da rade zvanicnu PC verziju (nesto mi govori da ce biti Win8 eksklziva)

Nije to nikakvo novo doba PC piraterije, nego samo još jedan dokaz da sve za šta ima dovoljno volje može da se ostvari. To znači da možete praviti identičan softverski proizvod nekom drugom čak i od nule, kao što imate kinesku garderobu koja nije original.

Malo vise Rusa da se skupi pa da nam portuju RDR na PC

Kad kazem "novo doba", mislim na to da ovaj dogadjaj otvara vrata portovanju drugih igara na PC, koje ce naravno biti piratske kopije.

Slazem se sada je ovo dokaz da sa dovoljno volje sve moze biti ostvareno, ali sam bio ubedjen da je malo komplikovanije odraditi ceo proces portovanja bilo koje igre.

[JzmA]

Meni lično dobre vijesti u svakom slučaju .

[sale94]

Pa mislim da je super vest za sve nas, jer ako cemo realno neke igre bi ostale mozda i trajne eskluzive za, konzole.

[SlobaNBG]

Bilo bi bas super da mozemo da igramo GoW, Halo i tako neke na PC-ju x*

[sale94]

Pa mozes da igras Gow 1 i 2 al preko emulatora.

[Boondock Saint]

Pretpostavljam da Sloba misli na Gears of War, jer se prica o xbox-u, a ne o God of War, koji moze da se igra preko emulatora. Inace bilo bi interesantno ako Rus podeli metodu sa internetom, neko bi sigurno skocio da unapredi i portovanje moze da pocne. Ako ne full igara onda makar xbla igara.

Igra je napravljena pomocu XNA - (bejase) multiplatform frameworka za Windows i XBOX, tako da je medota za portovanje sledeca:

1. Nabavi kod
2. Kompajliraj na Windowsu

[Nikola16789]

A gde ces da nabavis kod? Napises email autoru da ti ustupi?

[SrW1]

^

Verovatno drže source kod na serverima za svaki slučaj.

[Andross]

Reverse kompajlirati C# exe je najlaganija rabota ikada. A sve verujem da se lik isprsio za neki ozbiljan obfuscation softver da to iole spreci.

Sumnjam da moze da se odradi reverse u originalni kod, ali verujem da to moze da odradi solidan posao.
