Meet the Most Pirated Game of 2008
by Keane Ng on December 8, 2008 at 7:45 pm
It’s Spore. Were you surprised, really? All that DRM nonsense, all those lackluster reviews, all those pirates urging folks to fight the power by pirating this game. Rounding out the list of the year’s most stolen are Assassin’s Creed, The Sims 2, Crysis (still? come on guys), and more. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas at number seven? That seems random.
When it comes down to it, though, it’s a damn shame that what a lot of us will remember Spore for is for being downloaded hella much. Then again, there are people who will say that EA deserved every dollar they didn’t get for this game. What’s your guys’ take? Does Spore deserve the decidedly undesirable title of “most pirated game of the year”?

I’m pretty sure a lot of those downloads were just out of spite and to prove a point about the DRM. Perhaps EA will take heed of inchuding DRM…
…No, they won’t. It’s EA.

I cannot stand Will Wright games, the sims and spore, sim city. man, my ex-wife loved all those games and dominated the computer to the point of me having to build her a system just so I can get on the computer the check the e-mail and pay bills.
