Everyone in the Netherlands is pirating games. That's because we're notorious cheapskates.

I, of course, never pirate games, because it sucks.

So piracy is big in Holland? Not just PC but X360 too?

You youself don't even download PC games?

Every system is being pirated here. No one, and I mean no one, buys games for DS and PSP, and most people have modded Wiis and 360s too. PC is absolutely dead in the Netherlands.

I myself only download old PC games because I can't find them in stores. I never pirate new games.

X360 piracy is quite big in Sweden too.

But what do u mean "PC is dead" in Holland? You mean new game sales, or PC gaming in general? Because I mean Holland is a similar country to Sweden and Germany where PC gaming (& piracy) is huge.

Most people here love PC gaming, but PC sales are as good as dead, because everyone pirates games. Also, prices of PC games have gone up dramatically here the last couple of years (what was €45 is now €60).
