December 28th, 2009


Modern Warfare 2 is the biggest money spinner for Activision and it has also become the biggest money spinner for the pirated games market. According to Torrent Freak, MW2 is the most pirated game for 2009.

Activision has sold over 13 million copies. This is legal. The illegal part is that the PC edition of Modern Warfare 2 has been downloaded over 4 million times and around one million times the Xbox edition. So, the total illegal downloads of the game is over 5 million.

Other games that were downloaded in 2009 over 2 million times for PC are The Sims 3, Prototype, Need for Speed Shift and Street Fighter IV. Not only for PC, most of them have also been downloaded for the Xbox 360.

The New Super Mario Bros game was downloaded illegally downloaded over one million times according to Torrent Freak. This has been followed by Punch-Out and Wii Sports Resort.

Earlier the older games were most pirated. But in 2009 it is a surprise that the same year released games were most pirated. The biggest surprise is that Modern Warfare 2 was launched at the end of the year i.e. November 10.

One more interesting fact in the pirated market for year 2009 is that the most pirated games are actually PC downloads and not for the gaming consoles.

    I think we can expect the next version of Modern Warfare not to come out on PC. That sucks but it is probably better that way. PC gamers are killing PC gaming. The game is nearly unplayable. I am now pissed that I paid for it. Way to go.

    I can’t wait for Battlefield.

    Well, that’s what you get when you jack up the price of a video game to 60 bucks a pop. I refuse to pay that much for a game. I wait until they have hit 30 bucks or less.

    Maybe this will force game companies to rethink highway robbery.
