Here are the most pirated PC, Xbox 360 and Wii games of 2011
While most tech gaming websites are busy handing out their picks for game and/or tech of the year, TorrentFreak has a “best of” list of its own: the top 5 most pirated games of 2011 on PC, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii.
According to the site, the PC version of Crysis 2 takes the top “honors” (if you can call it that) for the year of 2011, having been downloading roughly 3,920,000 times. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which only came out last month, took second place with 3,650,000 downloads.
On the Xbox 360 side, Gears of War 3 took the top spot at 890,000 downloads, followed by, and this should be no surprise, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 at 830,000 downloads.
if nothing else, the top 5 list is an interesting glimpse into how much piracy there is across all three platforms, and how much the piracy on each platform differs from the other. To see the full list of “winners” (losers?), look below.
