Drumroll please! Torrentfreak has a listing of the most pirated games of 2011 that includes statistics from all over, including information from public trackers. Without further ado, let's take a look at those lists!

The PlayStation 3 and other platforms were excluded from the list as it gets "considerably less downloads and are excluded for that reason." Torrentfreak is also quick to note that the number of downloads for the top titles in each area is actually lower when compared to 2010's statistics.

That many people pirated BF3? What for? Do they have cracked servers already or do people really think the singleplayer was worth waiting several hours?

It's a AAA title so it was pirated.

5t3v0 any title can be pirated mate, even if it might be online MP only.

Im not saying its not possible, it just seems that 3 and a half milion people have missed the point.

But anyway, Crysis 2 has a weak multiplayer but great campaign, MW3 has a weak multiplayer but decent campaign, FIFA 12 has multiplayer but most people probably play by themselves, and Portal 2 is mostly a SP game, but the co-op isn't run through any authentication anyway so you can play that on a pirated version. I think the best way to reduce piracy is to make a spectacular MP game. Also, anyone doubt that Skyrim will appear up there next year?

[Eagle101]

Skyrim will msot definitley appear, so will assassins creed, and mass effect and maybe SW: KOTOR.I get your point 5t3vo, BF being MP focused and all.
