This is enough proof to show that piracy IS hurting PC game sales a lot:

I can give you MUCH more, but I won't spend more of my time in this thread (but yes, I am happy to see that SSFIV:AE is coming for PC, so I will be able to play it with some friends). We all know it's a fact that piracy is a big (really big) problem in the PC gaming industry, so there is no need to argue against facts.
