As 2010 comes to an end, we follow up our most pirated movies chart by taking a look at the most pirated games of the year. Call of Duty: Black Ops is the absolute winner in the PC games category this year. On Xbox 360 Dante’s Inferno receives the same honor, while Super Mario Galaxy 2 scoops the title of most pirated Wii game of 2010.

Call of Duty: Black Ops has already broken quite a few records this year. With 5.6 million copies sold in the 24 hours following its release, the game surpassed Modern Warfare 2 as the largest entertainment launch in history.

Therefore, it would come as no surprise if the game repeated this success on BitTorrent. And indeed, Black Ops takes the honor of most pirated game on the PC this year, a title which went to Modern Warfare in 2009. Even though it has only been available for a few weeks, the game beat Battlefield: Bad Company 2 by a wide margin with 4,270,000 downloads in total.

Despite this ‘success’, Black Ops does not lead the Xbox 360 and Wii lists.

As expected, Mario and Donkey Kong are in high demand on the Wii with a 1st and 3rd place respectively. Wii Party is listed in second place with well over a million downloads, while Black Ops fell a few thousand downloads short to make it into the top 5.

On the Xbox 360 the title of most pirated game goes to Dante’s Inferno. This game was released in February and amassed a total of 1,280,000 downloads, beating Black Ops which ended up in 5th place with 930,000 downloads. The latter, however, did make the headlines several times due to an early leak.

Weeks before the official release of Black Ops, reports came in that the Xbox 360 version had already leaked to BitTorrent. Although not all “leaks” turned out to be legit, a copy of the game did eventually come out a week before it hit the stores. This, despite efforts from Treyarch’s community manager Josh Olin to stop it.

As can be seen from the three lists below, PC games are by far the most downloaded titles, with on average more than three times the number of downloads compared to Xbox 360 and Wii releases. Overall, the number of downloads of the top titles in each category grew a little compared to last year.

The data for these lists is collected by TorrentFreak from several sources, including reports from all public BitTorrent trackers. All the data is carefully checked and possible inaccuracies are systematically corrected.

No wonder Black Ops got pirated so much. I, for one, don’t want to pay £40 (on the PC!!!) for a 5 hour SP game, followed by a continuous camp-run-and-snipe-fest online.

I chose to spend my money elsewhere. Thank you Steam for providing a massive Christmas sale of quality games at insanely good prices! :D

I’m just gonna look at one part:
“run-and-snipe-fest” HAVE YOU PLAYED THE GAME? They nerfed snipers so much, your lucky to see a person USING a sniper in a game. get informed.

I’m not surprised about Black Ops being the most pirated game of the year.
I was one of the people who doenloaded a free copy for xbox.
but i liked it and then bought the game for ps3

I also bought Carl on Duty: Black Cops for the PS3, but I have yet to play it.

I was so glad i didn’t waste money on black ops burrowed it from a friend.

I loved donte’s inferno but don’t think it’s quality enough for #1 slot.

Interesting how the most pirated game of 2010 was the same game to “break the glass ceiling in pure dollar sales” including a five day worldwide record of 550 million in sales.

Yeah, piracy hurts the industry. Right.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/211053/black_ops_breaks_sales_records.html
wrong

these numbers are wrong, just like last year’s numbers for CODMW2. Last year’s “12 million” number was just the total found by adding up the numbers from as many torrent sites as could be found. Problem is, most sites (public anyways) all use the same bloody trackers, so if you count 1200 websites showing 10000 downloads each or something you’re really multiplying the actual number by 1200.

IMO, the new cod was probably pirated MAYBE 200,000 times. People don’t play these games to play the single player, they BUY it to play the MP. And PC gamers think the COD games are a joke anyways, they’re not that popular on PC.

All these stats are way wrong.
John

And alot of the black ops downloads were just for seedboxes. So although it was downloaded alot was it played alot… Prob not
DeathRip

Congrats to the makers of Black Ops… Just like AVATAR the most pirated wins the most sold out copies! It does really make sense… Those who are not are those without brains(MPAA/RIAA)!
PC

This is the one title I wish I had downloaded but thought “it makes no sense since I’m buying it on day one” (for MP) only to find out it ran like shit and it still has problems running smooth for a lot of people.

Treyarch gave us a crappy 360 port with console sized maps.

Snagged BC2 from Steam for $7, it runs fine maxed out and has good sized maps.
ahem

I only pirated it for three reasons:

Treyarch got trolled hard by the fake torrent on the ‘bay that TF reported on.

And the loudmouthed guy in charge of Treyarch made fun of the filesharing community with snide comments like ‘Enjoy your banwave!’ which never came..The last time someone challenged the community, it led to them going bankrupt (Andrew Crossley). Even microsoft learned from the past that its wise to not mess with these people. When the 360 first came out, they more or less promised an unhackable system, which did nothing but motivate them.

And the third reason is they used some morons named “Ip-Cybercrime” to knock on everyone’s door that bragged about having an advance copy. They even has to resort to calling one of their moms and threatening a time-out in the corner if he didn’t give it back.

Best part was at the end of the day, it didn’t stop anything and their paranoia led to a few laughs and amusement.
ahem

Bottom line is you get more flies with honey then vinegar. I was going to buy the game, like I did for MW2, and..5 others before that. But the company did everything it could to alienate me and it worked. Cant make money if you piss people off so badly that they never want to support you again, or by purchasing the product it gives them more power to say the same exact thing in the future..If I wanted to do that, I would be an enabler and give money to a drug addict to feed his habit and not encourage any sort of change.

The only thing people can do is hit them where it hurts the most and not support the company for their attitude that they’re calling the entire internet little more than criminals. If I were in charge of a PR dept, the first thing I would do is make as many friends with as many audiences as possible! At the very least, I would say “Filesharing is ok if it serves as a good form of free advertisement” Thats all that needs to be said. Gamers listen to other gamers on whats hot and whats not, the same as any industry, word of mouth is the cheapest and most efficient advertisement. Black ops was not on my “Hot” list this year.

Its very damaging to a business to call out a paying audience and either dare or insult them. How the Hell can you support that action financially? I cant, and I wont. Like I said, supporting a company’s snide attitude is Enabling them to continue the same line of business.
Ninja

wow. Ahem got pissed off. With reason.

The comment about how piracy ruined Black Ops developer is quite amusing. I wonder how judges still buy such arguments with raw data all over the place telling exactly the contrary.

Idiots I tell you.
Sendaii

I’m hardly surprised. The price of Black Ops compared to the prices of other PC games makes your eyes water.

I pirated Black Ops last month and bought myself Black Ops for $40 last week.

And honestly, Im happy with my purchase, for the amount of hours I will put in this year(2011; next year) it’s going to end up costing me like $0.08 an hour.

The game could be way better though…but still, you guys don’t need to all bitch and whine if you don’t get the best. That’s what 6 year olds do. Take what you get, grow the f**k up and enjoy it!
Thoughtful

I think CoD:BO would have been better if they weren’t pumping them out so fast. MW2 was barely finished, and wasn’t even out for a month and they were already announcing Black Ops…

They realized that if they keep pumping them out and refuse to fix the old ones, people will buy them instead. It’s like DLC. Sell an unfinished game and force people to buy the rest of the content. It’s all about the money. Very few people care about their gamers.

I know Stardock does. If anyone’s interested, they’ve been updating their latest strategy game through player feedback on their forums. It’s things like that that made me go out and buy a couple of their games.

The moral is to treat your customers as friends, not cattle.

The common point between most of these games: they’re games advocating armies at war…
Can’t people play games that advocate science and solidarity instead?

I “stole” it for the SP. I would never buy there games now. Pc gamers have nearly always got the little updates for free. COD have now seen this as a way of making extra money. They fcuked it all up with MW2 and losing the dedicated servers, stopping modders from making there own maps.

It all worked out good though. Made me try BC2, I liked it. Brought it and love every single minute of it on multiplayer. Good job activision/tryarch/COD

Black Ops: The Most *Shared Game of 2010
whatev

@22, this is one of the wiser comments among the lot.

I haven’t tried COD:BO cause i’m quite convinced my pc can’t pull it, but MW2 (which i love and play almost daily still) is like 25% higher priced than any other game on Steam. You might say that it’s because it’s really worth the price, and maybe that’s true, but with that said, they release a couple of expansion packs, WOOOH! Just too bad they cost about the same as a new game, and even after COD:BO is out they cost the same. COME ON! GIVE A BROKE ASS GAMER SOME DISCOUNT ALREADY!?

I’d love to buy more games, but since I can hardly afford to stay alive, though still want to entertain myself once in a while, it becomes fairly convenient to get a hacked copy.

I guess my point is that prices are too high. not that this fact alone justifies piracy, but it sure helps :)

oh well, i’ll get back to noobtubing you whiny ass bitches :p

@I don’t get it?(you sure don’t)

Copying a file isn’t stealing by any definition of the word, and pirating CoD:Black Ops in no way guarantees that a person won’t buy it. And it also doesn’t mean they would have bought it of they couldn’t have pirated it.

Try to get your facts straight before hitting the keyboard.

F-ing A

Havent pirated since mininova went down. I only bought CoD:BO for zombie mode really. Its an alright game, single player was short but enjoyable for the time. However, I still havent gotten my 60$ worth, shouldve just bought a half of some good instead =(
teddy

I play sp and could care less about mp. cod4 was sensational and mw2 was nothing but a $60 commercial for mp, using the good name cod4 built up to trick idiots like me into thinking I was paying for a new cod4. mw2 had a ridiculously short campaign whereupon I guess the idea is I’m supposed to then go online and essentially create my own game, AFTER having paid top dollar for it?? wtf was I buying then?? the privilege of being able to go online with it?

so due to its almost worthless campaign, to me mw2 was at tops a $10 – $15 game and black ops was nothing but more of the same – an unjustifiably expensive front-end to mp. why on earth they put these in boxes as opposed to just selling subscriptions on the web must be how they trick morons like me into thinking there’s actually something in the box. this franchise is history for me.

I’ll just say that I liked it, so I ordered it. Just like ["WinMX Days" Cod1, Cod2,] Cod4mw1, “Never touched MW2,” Waw & now BO. Gotta do a test drive. Bad Company 2 – Glad I didn’t go out & buy that game before test driving it.

Activision & Treyarch Should be happy.

CoD:BO is a good game. Its fun and relatively balanced….NOW.

Im sure everyone here remembers the big shaft 3arc continues to throw us daily. Spawns are still(and always will be) garbage. Nuketown?!?!?!? lol take that $h*t back to CS:S where it belongs…god i hate that garbage map. Hmm what else. Budylist isnt organized(ever heard of alphabetic order?), theres no party system(bitter-sweet as it evades stacking but removes..stacking).

Game also played like garbage for like 3 weeks with stuttering, crashing, BSOD’d, epic lag and of course…little to no support or insight from JD2020(unless you are on the PS3 or xbawks, in which case u got a reach around from a bangin blonde while a busty brunette did other unmentionable things. the console had copious amounts of updates, while the PCers just played other games, or flammed forums day and night.).

Anyway, whatever. Most pirated game was also the most profitable game. The devs are NOT hurting. Doing some simple math with the public figures, you can see that each gaming territory(ps3, xbawks, PC) pulled in well more money than this game is actually worth.

And yes programming is difficult and i imagine, ney, KNOW games of this magnitude are epically complicated and they do deserve money…when the product they sell is “free from defects”. If i wasnt gifted MW2, i would have NEVER paid for this game.

Let me ask you something…if you went to the dealership and paid MSRP for a car, and when u drove away it sputtered and smoked and broke down, you are telling me you wouldnt return for some answers…or better yet, your money?

Not to mention you cant rent or return a PC game due to the UNIQUE KEYS that come with each copy…so what can i do to see if this game blows or not? I can ‘borrow’ it and make my decision.

When it comes to PC games…”piracy” is just like me walking into Blockbuster, and using the game.

Oh and FTR..i have over 50 games on Steam…none pirated, so u can SMD kthxbye.
