The Most Pirated Games of 2011
Today Kotaku is reporting the top 5 games pirated for major platforms this year according to TorrentFreak. As usual the PC platform is the most guilty almost doubling in pirated copies then its competitors.
Some of the titles listed are not surprising but the lack of a certain title filled with dragon slaying is. Why Skyrim didn't make the top five is anyone's guess. Either Steam is in fact the most user friendly DRM or people just love Skyrim. Either way this is just a small glimpse into the world of pirated software.
Top Five Pirated PC Games
1. Crysis 2 (3,920,000) (March 2011)
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (3,650,000) (November 2011)
3. Battlefield 3 (3,510,000) (October 2011)
4. FIFA 12 (3,390,000) (September 2011)
5. Portal 2 (3,240,000) (April 2011)

I rarely play BF3 multiplayer because my internet only becomes reliable around...well, right now. It's 2:30AM and not exactly a good time to play an FPS though. :laugh:
But where is Skyrim on that list???
So you are telling me tha MW3 is better then Skyrim???
Will someone buy it for me? lol I WANNA PLAY IT SO BAD!
Anyway this is the kinda crap why that junk bill SOPA gained ground.
Anyway I don't believe all those numbers and lists. These lists is just another reason for riaa mpaa or whatever theyr called to push their ridiculous laws so they could easily spy on people.
2. To be expected.
3. Release dates varied between countries despite the digital release. Most who pirated it, did so as they had a pre-order.
4. No excuse
5. No excuse
