Okay, lets see some critically aclaimed indie game(undertale), as indie game undoubtly deserving to be bought, and compare it to AAA game series released the same year which deserves to be pirated, according to community. I will use call of duty because its the type of game series i see often said to be the reason to pirate by thiefs: AAA, high price, every year title, shitty studio.

I use very popular local torrent website, as i dont want to search what is the current most used worldwide website for it, and if it tracks number of downloads.

Undertale(2015)-51k downloads.

CoD black ops 3(2015)-54k downloads.

So now answer me, why? Is undertale the same quality shit as call of duty? Or is it even worse considering that it is way less popular, so in corelation of pirated copes divided by copies bought, more people prefered to buy CoD?

Because CoD Black Ops requires internet in order to access most of the content, such as multiplayer. Undertale does not. You got any other, more relevant examples?

Okay, fallout 4-45k.

64k if you count the second torrent on the list separatelly (undertale would be 67k in that case).

Because most people play cod for the multiplayer wich wouldn’t work on a pirated version.

Undertale is a single player game wich doesn’t lose features because you pirated it.

Whats funny is sometimes its used as a test drive. Baulders gate as a new one I know had a decent amount of pirating, and then many forms are talking about how they loved it and then bought a copy.
