This is true, most of the people who pirate are probably too poor to buy the game anyway. If you've got the cash you go and buy it without thinking twice. My opinion.

I know some people who don't have much money will try it first and if they like it will buy, but I think their are a lot of people who can afford it but just do it because they can.

oh boo-hoo

Im tired of hearing this.
If you want to stop piracy, especially for multiplayer games - then either you do what STEAM does or what EA does. 1 key to one account, no if ands or buts about it. If you dont like it - sucks to be you.

for a single day ? the hell does that mean. Do they know how torrents work

cod4 has sold MILLIONS
8792 isn't a big loss

And yea, they sell games at $50 a pop and sell millions, i doubt they spend in excess of 50 million to build the game.

I say get the console out of you're ass

And not to mention, some people pirate the game and if they like it. They buy it, i'm one of them

So, some things to bear in mind: firstly, that the torrent of Assassin's Creed is of a preview version of the game that is incomplete and won't let you enter Jerusalem.
There's already a work around for that, albeit you have to play it in Russian while you are in there.

Quote:
The snapshot was gathered by heading to torrent site Mininova and working out which the most popular games are and monitoring the number of leechers on each for a single day. So; we present the top ten pirated games, along with figures, for a single day from a single site.
And ya, you could have that many leechers over a week period, the same person leeching for that whole time. I doubt anyone is going to download a 6.5 gig game in a single day.
