PC pirates at it again...

Just checked out a torrent site and over 20,000 PC gamers are currently stealing Tomb Raider while asking for a way to steal Sim City as well. Is any one surprised?

what were you doing at torrent sites?

This thread is pointless there are just as many communities for console pirates as well.

After I heard the game leaked I wanted to just how bad it was being pirated. I expected a few thousand, but nothing like that. Also heard aabout the DRM for Sim City...I am sure the thiefs will break it eventually.

What is sad is a lot of these guys have high end PCs. I always said PC gamers bought expensive hardware then steal the games.

Tis a shame :( Sim City is a great game that deserves great sales.

Well spoken damage control there. Yes I do believe a lot of these people would buy the games if they couldn't steal them easily. And you don't think developers/publishers lose value when a game sells less than expected because of pirates? They factor expected sales into production budgets.

It will be stolen. Seems to be the main target right now.

Good. I hope you are enjoying it. PC gamers already get the games much cheaper in many cases, but that isn't enough for a lot of them.

Riiiight like x360 TR isn't stolen to death already.

PC Pirates 200:1 vs consoles. The same people who also endorses Steam DRM and in-game microtransactions such as stupid hats and MMO cosmetics. Indeed, they are the plague to the gaming industry.

In the 30 yrs the PC has been around piracy has also been there yet it has not killed it and all these decades later and the market is actually growing.

So you can naysay and doom and gloom it all you like but someone must be buying the games for the market to grow.

Seously i hit 21 yrs in november as a pc gamer and have heard the usual "pirates" and "pc gaming is dying" death crys probably thousands of times now and it never changes, i think i have enough first hand exerience to know that it will keep defying the odds.

SimCity is getting pirated to death next? Good. The game deserves it for having always-online DRM. 

what were you doing at torrent sites?

My friend told me there is 10,000 copies of TR being "leached"(whatever that means) and Gears of War Judgment is already been out for 2 weeks. Heil68

Leached means currently being downloaded. That number is over 20,000 copies now.

Weren't consoles pirates downloading Tomb Raider before it's release, and even before it had been pirated on PC?

Maybe not from download sites. But, most console pirate scum buy pirated discs. It doesn't take many to download a master copy.
