This game happened. More specifically, Microsoft happened.
Microsoft announces a partnership with Platinum to release Scalebound, but it gets held up in development hell for years because of incompatibility and language barriers between Microsoft and Platinum. The two companies just couldn't come to terms with how each of them developed games, and Microsoft ended up cancelling the game, which very nearly bankrupted Platinum. So now they're playing it safe and doing small releases to try and recover.
Microsoft were huge bastards about this. But the game seems to have resurfaced on the Microsoft store about a week ago, so maybe they're going to attempt to revive it.

Damn, I don't follow platinum too religiously. Knew about Scalebound but didn't know that it nearly bankrupted them. Is that why they're sucking up to Nintendo so hard, too? Probably a safe investment since they covered Bayo 2's development costs, and are most likely doing the same for three.

The fact that you're calling people leeches means you have a mentality to see people here as leeches, which means you don't know us, and you aren't from here.
I'll explain something to you, this isn't leech behavior, it's being cautious because companies who make mobile games tend to make nothing but those and sell out. Mobile games are a devil's contract, they're the same shit as alcohol and drugs. We aren't a charity either, we don't have to like your game if you make stupid shit, your effort put into something doesn't matter if it's horrible.
And if you think not buying a luxury or getting it for free is leeching, you're retarded. Leeching is living off of someone else's dollar. Luxuries are sold entirely on how they make someone feel, not a necessity like food. If you can get something for free that won't tank a too big to fail company, you should. Because they don't suffer for it despite their whining.
They whine because it makes them look bad on profit margins, they won't go out of business even if everyone pirates, and few people do. They whine because they aren't getting that extra 1% profit, they're whining in the biggest money maker industry on the FUCKING PLANET.
there is no reason to feel sorry for the rich.

If by "not easy" you mean "time consuming" then yeah sure but that doesn't really matter because copying the code doesn't cause a sudden loss of code it's an exact copy. The only times when leeching is a thing is when we're talking about always online games or non-game related shit like hosting a website.

Do you think that anything WE DO effects their paychecks? They get salaries, and the games they make are sold if they're good. And most companies that have been tanked have been done intentionally by these companies in a cannibalism business strategy. By buying and then milking a company for profit and then removing them, you steadily start building a monopoly by removing competition, which EA did. They intentionally tanked companies by shafting them for their in-house sports shit, which didn't work out like they planned because video games sell based on merit.
They make a big deal about piracy, but really the issue with it is that they don't have full control over the customer, the marketing they're doing is not working anymore. And they haven't talked about piracy in YEARS, because people saw through their bullshit and called them out.
You can't use devs as hostages because we know they're fucked anyway if the publisher deems it to be so. You think that piracy hurts DEVELOPERS? They still make their cash when they sell the games to storefronts and they get paid according to their contract, it's publishers who suffer from bad sales, because it impacts future deals with storefronts, so they're trying and having mixed success to move to digital to remove the middleman, but that only made things easier to pirate.
You're woefully undereducated on how the industry actually works. You can't hold devs hostage, they're contracted.

And if not which is the case for 99% of the mobile market, you keep working the mobile mines for chump change.
That shit is really only viable for smaller devs looking to get ahead.
Big devs doing mobile is just the same type of gambling incompetent management aims for in AAA with targeting the COD, ASSFAGGOTS, battle royale or what other meme audience, that plays only the first/biggest game just like the normalfags on mobile.
Its actually kind of incredible when you think about it. For such a big fucking industry, vidya probably has the dumbest motherfuckers handling shit.

pirating and filesharing actually brings awareness to shit. If you can get it for free people will try it, like it and eventually buy it. Loads of people from other countries can't even afford shit either, so word spreads to wealthy areas about games overseas via pirating mostly. Filesharing is actually RESPONSIBLE for the industry getting this big. And as a result normalfags buy. Even some pirates end up succumbing and buying.
