These where the numbers of downloads on one click hosters up to 2013, which tended to have download counters. So no, torrent downloads and other sources are not even included in these numbers.

So clicks on a direct download link of a 30+gb file for the witcher = game pirated and fully downloaded by a unique user? Even those who might click it on mobile broadband or click it before noticing that their net would take an eternity to download a file that large? By this same "Click=unique person" logic 2.4billion unique people have watched Gangnam style on youtube, see how that doesn't work?

True, but those vids are just streamed, so you'll have to reclick to rewatch the video over and over. A downloaded copy of some game doen't need to get redownloaded each time you want to start the game. Still, there are surely some who downloaded it more than once, so the downloads would be lower than that. But like I said, these are just the numbers from one click hosters. If you add other means to download the games like torrent you will certainly surpass those numbers with relative ease
