It's worth noting that the vast majority of piraters are not in North America. Most of them come from Korea.

No matter what dev's come up with, pirates are rarely more than a small step behind. The longest it has ever taken to crack a game is either Half-Life 2 or Bioshock, can't remember which.


Splinter Cell 3 took over a year to crack. Those two games don't even come close to the longest (both within a week).


 A week?!?! Are you crazy? No, no. Bioshock took nearly three weeks, and (thanks to Steam) Half-Life 2 nearly a month or so. How do I know? I waited for them... I ended up buying HL2 though, but Bioshock is not worth the purchase imo.

Bioshock was released 2007-08-21:

2007-08-31   PC Game ISOs   BioShock 2K Games

Halflife 2 was released 2004-11-16:

2004-11-20   PC Game Dox   Half-Life 2 VALVe *PROPER* *OFFLINE NOSTEAM*

These are non-nuked releases. So I was out by 3 days for Bioshock. But as I said, Halflife 2 and Bioshock are far from the longest games to be cracked.
