mmm kinda Wii third party levels here. Is that all the claimed 200 million userbase actually buy?

Tell me, what does that prove? If anything, it proves that PC games are very sought. A few companies are starting to catch up and giving features that pirated copies will never have, and the rise of social gaming will help on the growth of PC games.

Now all we have to wait for is the anti-piracy laws that will kick most pirates in their groins. Sweden is the first one, then the World!
