GTA: Chinatown Wars "Suffered Due To Piracy"

April 03, 2010 in News comments 3

Even though Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars recieved positive reviews and solid-enough sales, Take-Two's CEO Ben Feder believes the game "suffered due to piracy."

Rampant piracy is the real reason for GTA: Chinatown Wars’ slow sales according to Take-Two CEO Ben Feder.

"The handheld market is currently challenged by weak demand and by piracy. Piracy is a real and present danger for our industry and must be addressed, especially in the handheld market. The commercial performance of Chinatown Wars has certainly suffered at the hands of piracy.”

    What were they expecting when they made a DS game?
    Everyone has an R4 card.

      R4s are outdated.

      The Wii and the DS have been getting owned by piracy so much it's not even funny. And there isn't much they can do about it.

      Like I always say, "better luck next gen, Nintendo". And "props to Sony and the PS3 for remaining hack proof so far."

    I would think it's more than piracy. It's not as if Rockstar are the only company piracy affects.
