Spore: Most Pirated Game Ever Thanks to DRM

[QUOTE="F1_2004"]We laugh, but 500,000 is a ridiculously large number for a single game. Crysis, for example, was a fine game and had nothing wrong with it, but almost 500,000 downloads. Imagine how many more & better quality PC games we'd be getting if piracy was nonexistent and devs didn't lose a decent-sized percentage of their sales to piracy. It's hard to deny that game quality has been going down the drain lately with most devs having to merge into the big publishers (EA) to keep in business.sSubZerOo

Except Crytek claimed that some where around 10 million copies were pirated, not 500k.. AM I the only one who notices this>?

And where did they get that number... ? Even if they could reliably say 10m or even 500k downloaded it, it doesn't mean 500k installs, or those people were able to play it.

I doubt it's the most pirated game on PC. :roll:DanielDust

you're dealing with people who claim Crysis was downloaded 100 million times.
