I never said that PC had less piracy, but rather developers have more options on the PC to stop it.

And what options are these ?

DRM ? Bioshock, Spore   -   hacked

Steam games ? HL2      -    hacked

StarForce ? Colin McRae Rally 2005, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory    -      it wasn't easy, but hacked

 

Steam has only been partically hacked. Any multiplayer elements are basically screwed over due to Valve's anti-cheat client. If you pirated a steam game you can play non-VAC servers but there aren't many.

Couldn't they just host their own servers?  I don't play online much anymore so I have no idea if people would actually join those servers, just curious.
