Man, you have no idea how much this pisses me off. I cannot stand people that pirate games, or think that pirating games is okay.

In any case, here are the top 10 most pirated games of 2008!

World of Goo Piracy Numbers Prove DRM is Worthless

goo 480x360 World of Goo Piracy Numbers Prove DRM is Worthless

Wow, that really, really sucks. This just goes to show that DRM is worthless. 2D boy, the people that created World of Goo, estimate that the piracy rate for the game is %82. That’s really, really bad.

They made a post on their site, and did some research, and the piracy rate for the PC game is %90. Their game, which has no DRM, had around the same piracy rate as Ricochet Infinity, an independent game that does have DRM. Well, anybody that reads this should pick up the game and support these guys, because they’ve done a great job on the game, and put a lot of hard work into it. Don’t Support Piracy!

Cost of games drives parents to piracy

Check out this snippet from a Sydney Morning Herald article…

Yvonne Wallbank, a mother of three boys, said the “horrendous” cost of the of the Nintendo game cards was driving many parents to resort to piracy. Each of her three sons, Maxx, 12, Alex, 10 and Nick, 8, has his own Nintendo unit. Mrs Wallbank said her sons had to use their pocket money to buy the games cards. “I can understand why parents use the pirated games. But as the owners of a small computer-related business I don’t believe in cheating people of their rightful income,” she said.

Common now, that’s just fucking ridiculous. The game carts range from $7-$40, going from used to new. If you really want to get a game cheap, get it used, jeez.

216331 1 hs Far Cry 2: Leaked Across The Net; 360 Piracy Is On The RiseI’ve been really looking forward towards Ubisoft’s Far Cry 2. In fact next week is too far away for my increasing interest and in order to relieve my hype I’ll be at this weekend’s Gaming Invasion along with Jeff where we shall relieve all the Far Cry 2 craziness inside.

Jeez, I wish I had a bunch of cool people that’d hook me up with some Far Cry 2, not that it’s something that I’m really looking that forward too.
