What do you think about gaming titles being sold for the PC getting downloaded through torrent sites?

Examples like Demigod:

On April 15th, 2009, Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock released a status report , confirming that the multiplayer component of the game has had serious connectivity issues due to over 102,000 connections made by illegitimate copies of the game. This is as opposed to only 18,000 connections made at the same time from legitimate sources. This number of connections overloaded the game's server infrastructure, meaning it was almost impossible for legitimate players to play the game online.

So because of that, 88% of the gamers were playing a downloaded copy

**Please do not comment about how much you hate this game :) **

Other games for the PC which have been downloaded through torrent sites include:

Call of Duty 2

Diablo II

F.E.A.R.

World of Warcraft

...and many other games...

Should game developers face the fact that they should switch to making games for consoles only?

They should all switch to the PS3, it still hasn't been hacked.

 

 What about the Virtual Boy? Has anyone hacked that yet? I mean, it has been out longer than the Ps3!

 

Virtual Boy it is. *Goes write a lunitec message to some Developer* (why did I capitalize that D?)
