Call of Duty: Black Ops the Most Pirated Game of the Year 5

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday December 30, 2010 @07:06AM from the five-button-discount dept.

Torrentfreak reports that after calculating download frequency for pirated copies of popular video games, Call of Duty: Black Ops has won the dubious honor of being the most pirated game of 2010. The PC version of the game was torrented roughly 4,270,000 times, and the Xbox 360 version was downloaded an additional 930,000 times. (The most pirated Wii game was Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Dante's Inferno somehow managed to accrue the most downloads of Xbox 360 games.) Fortunately for Activision, the game has still made over $1 billion in sales, and its 20,000,000+ players have racked up over 600,000,000 man-hours of play time since the game's launch in early November.

Um, wasn't Wikileaks PAYING the Amazon.com company for hosting it's material?

Funny how the 'free-unregulated-markets-will-solve-all-the-world's-problems' and 'keep-govt-off-business'-backs' pols freaked out and leaned on Amazon.

I saw it when it was called "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" (I know, the film actually did get picked up and finished by a studio, but it started out as a homegrown short)

I've loved the night sky since I was a kid and growing up in rural NC, I could, and still can, see the Milky Way, observe nebula, etc..

However, I spent a night in the Moroccan desert and was just slobberknockered at the sky. Likewise, I camped in the Peruvian Andes and the clarity and seeing the southern hemisphere stars for the first time was just mind warping.

I thought the Russians should have turned MIR into a floating porn studio. Imagine all the incredible angles available in zero-g and the Russians moaning "Dah! Dah!"

Bush's approval ratings are starting to slide (down to 60% from 75%) as more americans begin to question his economic strategy and how many times he lied to get us to go to war with Iraq.
