If PC game piracy is so bad..
Mozgus | 5:41 PM on 10.20.2008 4 comments


Why have Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 been pirated on 360 long before PC? And why are they topping the torrent charts? Hell, the top 5 torrents at blackcats right now are 360 and nothing else. Further, 15 of the top 20 seeded torrents are for 360. Explain that.

I just want some definitive proof for all these claims that PC is a piracy playground. Let's have some evidence, please. Just because a game sold poorly on PC doesn't mean that the mathematical difference in sales to the console version is the factual number of pirated downloads.

Piracy is just as crazy on 360 as it is on PC, people. It's just more vocal on PC because it doesn't require hardware modifications. The point that no one pays attention to however, is that once a console is modded, copying/burning games for it is 10x easier than it is for PC games. That's all I have to say.
