Modern Warfare 2 Most Pirated Game of 2009

Posted in Industry News

Sure, Modern Warfare 2 sold about 4.7 million copies within the first 24 hours of its release, but how about its reputation in the underworld of torrents and free illegal downloading? According to Torrentfreak.com, Modern Warfare 2 for the PC has been illegally downloaded 4.1 million times, which is double the amount that 2008’s winner Spore got. Other PC games on this 2009 list are The Sims 3 (with 3.2 million), Prototype (2.4 million), Need For Speed Shift (2.1 million) and Street Fighter IV (1.85 million).

If the many who downloaded it are doing so just to get back at Activision and Infinity Ward for the way they treat the PC version (”dumbed down for consoles” as PC fans would put it), this isn’t really the way to do it. At worst, you’re just making the brand more (in)famous than it needs to be.

    Heh, kinda expected that would happen. I, myself boycotted it. Ultra ridiculous pricing, multiplayer number reduced horribly and compulsory Steam.

    Those people who pirated PC SFIV make me sick.
