Most pirated games of 2011

[Dark Drakan]

Stats are from research done by TorrentFreak and the winner of most pirated game of 2011 goes to...​

​

​

Crytek and EA's sci-fi shooter was downloaded 3,920,000 times between its release in March 2011 and the end of the year. However the stats dont tell you if that includes the build that leaked a full month before the games official release.​

​

Other titles that were downloaded a high number of times of course included the best selling game of all time Modern Warfare 3 which was downloaded 3,650,000 times, its rival Battlefield 3 3,510,000 times as well as FIFA 12 which had 3,390,000 downloads and Portal 2 which had 3,240,000.​

​

All those figures were for the PC versions of the games, however they also included numbers for the console games that had been struck by pirates too. Gears of War 3 was supposedly Xbox 360's most pirated game with 890,000 downloads, followed by Modern Warfare 3 with 830,000 downloads, Battlefield 3 with 760,000, Forza Motorsport 4 at 720,000 and Kinect Sports: Season Two with 690,000 downloads.​

​

The Wii's figures dwarf the 360's illegal download numbers however with Super Mario Galaxy 2 which was said to have received 1,280,000 illegal downloads. Mario Sports Mix with 1,090,000 downloads, followed by Xenoblade Chronicles with 950,000, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean with 870,000 and FIFA 12 with 860,000.​

​

PS3 wasnt included in the stats as it had significantly less illegal downloads than all 3 other platforms.​

I didn't expect Crysis 2.

And people wonder why PC gaming has fallen on its ass over the past decade.

No figures from Sony? Speaks volumes about their security.

High figures from the Wii too, PS3 figures werent included because apparently they had significantly less than the other 3 platforms.

Maybe PSN has failed, but that doesn't mean it sucks as a platform or
the games were stormed with piracy.

I love my computer
You're always in the mood
I get turned on
When I turn on you
I love my computer
You never ask for more
You can be a princess
Or you can be my whore
And it's never been quite so easy​

​

I'm not quite understanding the link between the video and the song or was it just some over enthusiastic Asian wannabe thinking they can relate anime to everything and everyone? :troll:

Basically she's a robot; computers in the future comes in the shape of robotic humans. He finds one being dumped in the trash and takes it home. Hilarity and awkwardness ensue(Her power on-button is in her crotch, for example. Genius design if I may say so myself. Imagine powering her on and off in a public place) as he really starts to fall in love with his computer.

Basically it takes the meaning of the song one step further.

I figured Skyrim would hit the top, the entire game for free a week before its release.
