It is sickening especially since CDPR offered a DRM free version here as well as different editions, free dlc and released for PC exclusive right now.

However, this shows the game is very popular and is really taking the gaming industry by storm. I just hope many of those folks will buy it after trying it because if we want another game like this for pc everyone who wants to play needs to support the devs.

Good point! this does show DRM (after release) is useless. It is necessary before release though so that pirates don't get the game weeks in advance.

There will always be though you pirate no matter what, sad fact of life.

You can only hope they will buy it later.

It's going to happen one way or another.

Maybe they'd download it less if they had a demo.

Plenty of those people will eventually buy the Legit version as-well. I have no doubt about that.

And a bunch of people who download it illegally would never buy in anyway. So basically it's not really an all that big of a number. Definitely not going to hurt the overall sales too much.

Or maybe CDPR might do as Stardock and offer a license for them to become a legit owner! Those who like the game may buy it anyway.

Considering they even gave 5 bucks off the game to preorder and arn't like the current pc gaming trend of making games 60, it's sad people have to pirate it.

So?
La noire has been getting pirated alot aswell
Posted May 18, 2011
who cares? You make it sound like all those people would buy the game - they're only downloading it because they can.

Yea 45 bucks for this game is nothing, especially when you paid 60 dollars for a crappy rpg-game in mars.
