How do you like that crafty piece, eh? American Idol, here I come! TorrentFreak has composed a list of the top most pirated PC games of 2008. I don’t suppose you can guess what the top game is?
If you guessed Warcraft Spore, what gave it away? Yes, according to TorrentFreak’s statistics, Spore has been downloaded approximately 1,700,000 times. Yeah…..I bet the folks over at EA and SecuROM are scrambling trying to find a way to make the figure look smaller than what it really is. I’m sure they are also proud that their precious DRM has protected their game so far.
Heres the full list (Name of Game, # of times downloaded, Release Date):
- Spore (1,700,000) (Sept. 2008)
- The Sims 2 (1,150,000) (Sept. 2004)
- Assassins Creed (1,070,000) (Nov. 2007)
- Crysis (940,000) (Nov. 2007)
- Command & Conquer 3 (860,000) (Mar. 2007)
- Call of Duty 4 (830,000) (Nov. 2007)
- GTA San Andreas (740,000) (Jun. 2005)
- Fallout 3 (645,000) (Oct. 2008)
- Far Cry 2 (585,000) (Oct. 2008)
- Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (470,000) (Oct. 2008)
Thanks to Thomas of Prime Time Sims 2 and Sporedum for the tip.
It’s funny how many of those games are made by EA. You’d think they’d get their act together as far as SecuRom is concerned but apparently you’d have to do some blasting with dynamite between EA’s ears before common sense kicks in. I wonder if that’s Sims 2 in general or a total of every Sims 2 game combined. If it’s just the base game well at least Spore is doing better than TS2 at something.
Great work on the Spore Pirate’s Anthem, Jud.
