Final Fantasy Four Family Version.

No one is saying all PC gamers are pirates - people are saying that software for PC is heavily pirated.

@WingChopMasta

And out of that 100,000, at least 5,000 will use money to actually obtain the game.

I know a guy who took a week off work to play DIII, he ended up getting sacked. That's the first time I know of someone losing a job from a game (indirectly, I know).
