Every game is, but Doom III is bigger news in general so it's actually getting press about that and more people are pirating. It's not like they still won't make bucketloads of money on the game and engine licensing. They make estimates about how much companies lose by pirating, but there's no way to take into account all the people who pirate something that they wouldn't never have bought it anyway for either taste or money reasons or the people who pirate just to get their hands on it early and are still buying it anyway. (Not that those reasons nessecarily apply to Doom III since it is a huge piece of PC gaming, but more the estimates overall.)Quote:

But really, the hugely excessive pirating that you get on the PC is probably a major reason why companies are choosing to develop on console more and more.
How much are they selling it for? I really can't justify paying more that the $45 CC is going to be charging.Quote:
