lol at all these pirates whining about a game that they're stealing.

lol at sweeping and completely baseless generalizations

The large majority of PC gamers are pirates, especially guys that play shooters, so it's pretty safe to say that the majority of those who signed the petition are pirates.

 

Since shooters are considered hardcore, you're saying majority of hardcore gamers are pirates. Who are these people that are buying MW2? Probably the casuals.

On PC, of course. All the people I've come in contact with who play PC games have been at least moderate if not huge pirates. And this is in Sweden which is an extremely rich country.

Yet, there exists people who buy games from time to time, and is the reason why MW2 PC version has sold some copies (a couple of millions if not more). But they are a minority, especially from a global perspective (include South America, Russia, Poliand and others who are big PC gaming nations).

sweden has a huge piracy rate compared to many other countries. Heck your pirate party even has mandates in your folketing.

Many countries has far less pirating.
