What figures? The 4,000,000,0000,0000, pirated versions of MW2?
If they are indeed from pirate sites then why are you all getting in a lather about them? They are as believable as company PR!
Oh and I checked the torrent sites, and the total number of downloads for MW2 are far, far lower than the quoted 4,000,000 figures. Even if I doubled them, they wouldn't come up to anything even half what has been said. So your statistics are flawed old chap.
But hey, why let facts get in the way of promoting the old 'Pirate Bogey Man' right? Maybe you'll next quote 'Pirat34evah' from
www.Ipirateeverything.com who says that SH5 has been pirated 11,000,000 times and that's why Ubi needed this DRM?

Port of Call is ****house anyway, Data Becker quality, so old Rolf is just blaming a lack of talent on the bogeyman. Doubt that even a single pirate of that game (all 20 of them) would have bought it anyway. Wonder he didn't blame the 'J' word. Mount and Blade has also been massively pirated yet they are doing fine. Why is that?
