TorrentFreak’s top ten most pirated games of 2008 list is out, and, unsurprisingly, the offensively-DRMed Spore is way out in front. The best thing about that, as far as I’m concerned, is that, as reported here, EA contends that the piracy of Spore didn’t really hurt sales.
If you missed the important part there, I’ll repeat it. According to EA, one-point-seven million illegal downloads did not hurt the sales of Spore.
One more time, for good measure:
1,700,000 pirated copies didn’t hurt EA’s sales.
So, anybody care to explain to me why the fuck everybody’s all still tripping over himself trying to DRM everything as tightly as possible?

Never mind how stupid this dude is. I mean, sure, some of the shit he’s quoted as saying in that article is intense — like his rant about the new president we don’t (by the way, dude) actually have yet — but never mind that. Just focus on the fact that he named his son Adolf Hitler and didn’t apparently expect that to remind people of anybody else in history who just "happened" to be called Adolf Hitler. Frankly, dumbfuck, if your kids are named Adolf Hitler and Joycelynn Aryan Nation, you don’t have a leg to stand on if maybe people start thinking you have Nazis on the brain. So sit down, shut up, and enjoy the ride. Trust me, you’re not going through anything like what your kids are going to have to deal with for being stuck with those "hilarious" novelty names you thought were such a bright idea.
Besides, I’m afraid I have to side with the ShopRite dudes on this one. This site has a strict anti-Hitler policy, as you can see over there on the right.
