Handheld Gaming Piracy Worse Than PC, Says God Of War Dev

God of War: Ghosts of Sparta developer Ready at Dawn believe that piracy is more rampant on handheld consoles than it is on the PC.

Speaking in an interview on VG247, Ghosts of Sparta creative director Ru Weerasuriya said, “It’s getting to the point where it doesn’t make sense to make games on it [the PSP], if the piracy keeps on increasing.”

Whereas on the PC gaming side he believes that online gaming helps to mitigate piracy: “The PC market has had connectivity and multiplayer, which brings down the piracy.”

“A lot of the PC games right now require you to be logged into a specific network – like Battle.Net, when I used to work at Blizzard – that controls it, and has made it easy to curb some of that.”

Ghost Of Sparta will likely be Ready At Dawn’s last PSP game, Weersuriya claimed (“We’ve done the absolute maximum with it”), with the studio now looking to other consoles and potentially its own IP.
