Crysis 2 Tops 'Most Pirated Games' List - People like free things.


"I'm about to pirate this helicopter, ifyaknowwhatImean."

Paying for things is kinda whack, yo. It's, like, capitalism and stuff, and I get that, but it's just like, "man, I want that shit fo free." Apparently, the people agree with me, as TorrentFreak's list of 2011's most pirated games dropped today, and it confirms suspicions that paying for things is highly overrated.

Crysis 2 earns top honors with 3,920,000 illegal downloads, but is almost matched by execution-simulator Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Shoot Stuff Again: Colon, which racked up 3,650,000 frags in a considerably shorter release window. (CoD:MW3:SSA:C came out in November, Crysis 2 in March)

But those are just the PC stats! It would seem DRM protection doesn't really dissuade people from copying games, so good luck with that, SOPA. Check out the rest of the list to see which what 360 and Wii games had the most downloads.

Honestly though, downloading console games illegally is a freaking pain in the ass. You've got to get emulators or burn discs that can forge all kinds of standards and licensing gatechecks... ugh. I can't believe this many people do that. It would honestly be less work to just get a job and earn $60 to buy the game.

Wait. People illegally download games for the Wii?
