What Percentage of PC games are Pirated VS people actually buying the game?
Posted by: admin : Category: games for pc
Couldn’t find much on the internet. I was thinking about 5-10% of pc games are pirated.
eg. for every 100,000 copies of gears of war that are sold, 10,000 are pirated?!!!
I’m not looking for a fancy answer, just the real number with a link.
First person to do so, gets chosen for best answer.
Thanks.
It really depends on the country.
Click on the link to see a graph on percentage of piracy for different countries or regions. It only covers 2005 and 2006.

To sum it up, it’s about 22% in North America, and about 35% worldwide.
