I knew Razor1911 was from Sweden, but the majority of the people downloading his files are not. America gets a lot of flak for piracy on PCs, but in total volume Europe is actually worse (very bad considering it's a smaller game market) and Korea is much worse.
As far as this "killing" the PC game market, that's a vast exaggeration. PC software sales are much higher now than they were 4 or 5 years ago thanks to the rise of digital distribution. PC software sales are actually on the rise according to Gabe Newell. The issue is that they are rising in a way that tracking firms can't check: Downloads. This is all good on the piracy front. The stronger digital distrubtion like Steam gets the weaker piracy gets. Again, I'm pissed at Microsoft for adding a system to slow down that process.
