A new UK campaign aimed at stemming the piracy of games, films and music will allow internet service providers to warn alleged persistent offenders about their actions, but will not result in any legal action.
The scheme, known as Voluntary Copyright Alert Programme, will launch in spring 2015. ISPs will be able to send up to four warnings a year to users believed to be infringing copyright, explaining to them that their actions are unlawful, and offering legitimate sources of entertainment.
But for those who ignore the messages, no action will be taken.
ISPs to have signed up to the initiative include BT, Sky Broadband, TalkTalk and Virgin Media. The Government has pledged £3.5m in funding to an education campaign to raise awareness on piracy.
Vcap is the result of years of negotiations between entertainment companies and ISPs. Many film, games and music firms had hoped for much stricter and robust action for persistent offenders, including powers to cut internet access, as well as access to information on such offenders.
The UK’s creative industries are said to contribute as much as £71.4 billion towards the UK economy, supporting 1.71 million jobs. In games alone, there is believed to be more than 620 games studios, with 18,093 jobs directly supported by the sector.
The actual effects of illegal downloads on games businesses and other creative sectors is widely debated. While many state it directly affects sales, others also claim those who illegally download content would likely not have purchased it in the first place.
In November last year, Sports Interactive head Miles Jacobson revealed at the London Games Conference that Football Manager 2013 had been illegally downloaded 10.1 million times. He also stated that sales dropped significantly after the game was cracked.
Jacobson estimated that piracy had cost the studio 176,000 in lost sales.
According to a TIGA survey in October last year, only ten per cent believed that stricter enforcement of intellectual property rights was the solution to illegal downloading and file-sharing. 73 per cent also disagreed with cutting off internet connections to persistent offenders who ignored warnings.
More than half the respondents however, 57 per cent, reported that piracy had a direct impact on their business, and had also been unsuccessful in their own attempts to reduce it.

Ubisoft's hit continues to perform, though Freedom Wars takes number one
The PlayStation Vita RPG Freedom Wars topped the Japanese charts last week with nearly 190,000 sales - but Ubisoft's Watch Dogs wasn't too far behind.
Sales of Vita hardware nearly doubled on the release of Freedom Wars, though it still finished a few hundred units short of the 3DS XL. However, the most surprising story of the week was arguably Ubisoft's Watch Dogs, which sold almost 95,000 units across both PlayStation consoles - with more than 63,000 on PlayStation 4.
And it was a busy week on the software chart in general, with every one of the top six spots occupied by a new release. The software top ten is below, with lifetime sales in parentheses:
- 1. [PSV] Freedom Wars (SCEJ, 06/26/14) - 188,888 (New)
- 2. [PS4] Watch Dogs (Ubisoft, 06/26/14) - 63,595 (New)
- 3. [PS3] Kamen Rider: Battride War II (Bandai Namco, 06/26/14) - 62,649 (New)
- 4. [3DS] Taiko Drum Master: Don and Katsu's Space-Time Great Adventure (Bandai Namco, 06/26/14) - 53,095 (New)
- 5. [PSV] Girls und Panzer: Master the Tankery (Bandai Namco, 06/26/14) - 31,526 (New)
- 6. [PS3] Watch Dogs (Ubisoft, 06/26/14) - 31,028 (New)
- 7. [3DS] Yokai Watch (Level-5, 07/11/13) - 29,590 (1,147,202)
- 8. [Wii U] Mario Kart 8 (Nintendo, 05/29/14) - 23,520 (492,837)
- 9. [3DS] Pokemon Art Academy (Nintendo, 06/19/14) - 15,373 (46,454)
- 10. [PS3] Pro Evolution Soccer 2014: Aoki Samurai no Chousen (Konami, 05/22/14) - 13,026 (136,893)
The altogether more static hardware chart is below, with the prior week's sales in parentheses:
- 1. 3DS LL - 22,803 (21,459)
- 2. PlayStation Vita - 22,192 (11,937)
- 3. Wii U - 10,653 (10,715)
- 4. PlayStation 4 - 8,059 (7,009)
- 5. PlayStation 3 - 7,480 (6,339)
- 6. 3DS - 5,081 (4,582)
- 7. PlayStation Vita TV - 2,727 (1,444)
- 8. PSP - 1,445 (2,335)
- 9. Xbox 360 - 201 (214)

Rebellion and 505 Games’ Sniper Elite 3 is once again at the top of the UKIE GfK Chart-Track All Formats Top 40 this week.
It holds on to the top spot despite a 36 per cent week-on-week drop in sales, matching the successive No.1’s of its predecessor.
Watch Dogs sits at second place for the third week in a row, while retail discounting helps FIFA 14 climb from sixth and third and 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil climb three places to eighth.
A 53 per cent increase in sales sees 3DS outing Tomodachi Life jump from 16th to 11th – again, thanks to discounting.
Despite the lack of new releases the overall market declined by just three per cent thanks to strong budget sales.
Here’s the UK Top Ten for the week ending July 5th:
1. Sniper Elite 3 (505 Games)
2. Watch Dogs (Ubisoft)
3. FIFA 14 (EA)
4. Titanfall (EA)
5. Wolfenstein: The New Order (Bethesda)
6. Call of Duty: Ghosts (Activision)
7. EA Sports UFC (EA)
8. 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil (EA)
9. Minecraft: PS3 Edition (Sony)
10. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition (Microsoft)

The complexities of new-generation game development are to blame for the delays to Ubisoft's latest new IPS including Watch Dogs and The Division, but the firm's CEO expects proceedings to 'go smoother' from next year.
"It's harder, because there are so many things to do, so many possibilities," said Yves Guillemot. "We saw that when we launched Watch Dogs. To make sure the mobile works with the seamless multiplayer, with all the things we're bringing, it's more complex. It's always on. There are lots of things to check and control," he toldVenturebeat.
<figure style='background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); font: 14px/23.79px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; width: 460px; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; display: block; white-space: normal; position: relative; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;' class="responsive single-article__canvas single-article__canvas--full zoomhover" title="" data-media992="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3212/image_321285_460.jpg" data-media768="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3212/image_321285_700.jpg" data-media480="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3212/image_321285_480.jpg" data-media="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3212/image_321285_320.jpg"> </figure>Watch Dogs was originally planned as a PS4 and Xbox One launch window game, but was delayed to spring 2014 due to quality concerns. Likewise, The Division was expected for late 2014, but was recently pushed into 2015.
Blaming new-gen complexities for the delays, Guillemot said development on the new consoles will improve from next year, as developers get to grips with the new hardware and tools.
"We're at the very beginning," he said. "Starting next year, things should go smoother. We're not expecting every game to take longer to make. It's not as complex, I would say, as the jump to PS3. PS3 was extremely difficult to develop on when it came. All our teams had been on Xbox, and they had to learn how to develop for PS3, which was quite difficult at the time."
Guillemot went on to suggest that the multi-studio firm can further streamline development by sharing assets. "Today, we create a car at one studio, and we don't ever re-use that car in any other game. We need to make sure we can re-use more items that people won't care about," he said.

For the first time in eight years, Sony's back on top of global annual console sales.Japanese newspaper Nikkei Business Daily (via AFP, MCV) totted up the annual console sales for each platform holder.Sony's PlayStation machines sold 18.7m units; Nintendo's machines sold 16.31m units; and Microsoft's machines sold 11.6m units. Here's Kaz Hirai on holiday, preparing to take the lead.
Do bear in mind that Sony has five consoles - PS4, PS3, PS2, Vita and PSP - and Microsoft has two: Xbox One and Xbox 360. Nintendo has Wii U, Wii, 3DS (includes 2DS and 3DS XL) and DS (includes DSi, DS Lite, DS XL).PlayStation 4 propelled Sony into first place while Wii U dragged Nintendo down. In mid-April, Sony said 7m PS4 consoles had been sold. We may get an update on that figure tonight at Sony's E3 conference.Microsoft issued a 5m figure for Xbox One in mid-April as well, but the important differentiation was it being a "sold-in to retailers" figure - ie. shipped - rather than actual to-consumer sales (like Sony's).Nintendo sold 2.7m Wii U units in its last financial year, and has sold 6.17m Wii Us in total.Good news for Sony, then, but both Microsoft and Nintendo will mount more of a challenge this year. Microsoft has taken Kinect out of the de facto Xbox One retail box, and in doing so lowered the price, and Nintendo has bolstered Wii U sales with the launch of the fantastic Mario Kart 8.What else the platform holders have up their sleeves we'll see at E3 this week. The key conferences take place today (5.30pm BST Microsoft; 2am BST Sony; tomorrow 5pm BST Nintendo) and we'll be reporting live from each one so you don't miss a thing.

Ubisoft sold four million copies of Watch Dogs in the game's first week at retail, the publisher announced today. The game is now Ubisoft's "best-selling game ever in week one," according to its internal sales estimates.
Watch Dogs launched last Tuesday for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. It managed to sell more copies in its first 24 hours on shelves than any other game in Ubisoft's publishing history. Our four-star review of the game praised it as a "more fluid and modern power fantasy than we're used to." Watch Dogsstill awaits one more platform; it's slated to launch on Wii U this fall, which Ubisoft is now "fully focused on."

Watch Dogs has stormed to the top of the UK all-format charts and earned itself the biggest launch week of any new IP in the UK ever, beating previous record holder LA Noire's haul by more than half its sales again. It prints money.
The open-world hackathon is Ubisoft's biggest ever game launch in the UK. Watch Dogs beat the publisher's previous peak for launch week sales - set in 2012 by Assassin's Creed 3 - by more than 17 per cent.Overall, Watch Dogs is the 17th biggest game launch in the UK of all time. Only games from four established franchises - GTA, FIFA, Call of Duty and Battlefield - have ever sold more.PlayStation 4 counted for the vast majority of physical copies and helped the PS4 itself to a 94 per cent increase in hardware sales over last week.Mario Kart 8, meanwhile, turned up comfortably in second place. Nintendo's racer earned the company its biggest Wii U game launch in the UK to date, and the second best launch for a Mario Kart title ever in the UK.Wii U console sales skyrocketed by a devilish 666 per cent this week, of which 82 per cent were the Wii U Mario Kart 8 bundle.Last week's top dog Wolfenstein: The New Order fell to third place, FIFA 14 was fourth and Minecraft: PS3 Edition was fifth. Borderlands 2 re-entered the chart in 18th thanks to sales of the new PlayStation Vita version.

We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what’s happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it’s not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.
In Watch_Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (ctOS) and it controls almost every piece of the city’s technology and holds key information on all of the city’s residents.
You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city’s network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy, and more.
Use the city of Chicago as your ultimate weapon and exact your own style of revenge.

An article at Wired takes a look at two multiplayer survival games, DayZ and Rust, and at the behavior of players when their actions are freed from a civilized moral code. 'Violence wouldn't bother a psychopath, [Dr. Adam Perkins] says, but they might have another incentive to avoid violence: the consequences of getting caught. Most psychopaths are logical people, he says, and understand that actions bring consequences. The threat of repercussions — say, for example, prison — might keep them from acting out. Such disincentives do not exist in virtual worlds. Absent a sense of empathy, you're free to rob and kill at will.

Digital may be the industry’s biggest market, but consumers still prefer to buy games in a box.
Analysts Kantar WorldPanel revealed that two-thirds (72 per cent) of consumers are buying boxed products only. It follows estimates from Screen Digest, which showed that digital games last year generated more revenue than physical ones.
Just ten per cent of UK gamers have made the switch from physical to exclusively buying digital games. That’s compared to 18 per cent of gamers who are buying both.
Consumers still enjoy physical products due to the high cost of digital games and the ability to trade-in boxed games at stores.
Kantar also revealed that the console gaming population of adults in the UK is six times larger than that of kids. Yet, 76 per cent of children aged seven to 14 play console games – well ahead of the 55 per cent of UK adults playing consoles.

Pot and video games have long been bound together in hazy, wedded bliss—as well as in compulsion and codependency. Many a World of Warcraft binger has been found in the darkest hours of the night with clouds of sweet, milk-white smoke curling around him, a bong next to the keyboard. But the way these lovers, games and weed, commingle has only rarely been studied, and when done so, usually exclusively in the context of substance abuse and how it relates to what is known as PVP: 'problem video game playing.'"
