"and the remaining 6% of sales were for the PC version". If this is true, then the petition and the negative publicity might be damaging the sales even more than I expected. thanks for the link, I didn't see it before.

Nah, that's just how low the PC version sells with piracy these days. So maybe 10k people didn't buy the game because of the petition. All the other people who signed probably still bought it like was shown on multiple steam boycott groups! LOL! This is just more evidence to show the poor sales of CoD4 on PC thanks to piracy as well.

COd4 likely sold around 8-10 millions on PC, so I don't know what you're talking about.
You're ignorant about this, but PC games sell for years and years, long after this generation of consoles is gone. Starcraft only sold 1.5 millions in it's first year... we all know what happened after. A more recent example, Sins of a Solar Empire, sold only 200k in the first month... guess how many it has now (21 months after release)? 1 million. if Sins of a Solar Empire was a console game, it would've stopped at 400k at most.

Shio, just accept the fact that you are wrong about CoD4 PC sales. Piracy is destroying the FPS market on PCs. It only sold about 1-3 million tops on PC.
I'm sorry, that's just the truth and you need to stop being ignorant about it.

Ok let's assume that piracy does indeed destroy the industry. Then I need you to explain a few phenomena How do developers liek Valve and Blizzard flourish on the PC? Also why is piracy destroying the market NOW when it has been around since the 1980s?
Explain those 2 phenomena and then we can talk about piracy destroying any industry.
