Yarr, Matey! The Most Pirated Games of 2011

Piracy continues to be an ongoing concern for the gaming industry: TorrentFreak has collected the annual numbers for games torrented during the year. Unsurprisingly, PC games topped the list (the top downloaded PC game of the year, Crysis 2, had more than 3 times the number of downloads of the top Wii game and more than 4 times for the XBox 360 champion, Gears of War 3).  Oddly enough, the top Wii bootleg was a 2010 game (Super Mario Galaxy 2), and though Crysis dominated the PC list, it wasn’t on the top 5 for XBox 360. Read the list, and feel great shame for our industry.
