Piracy is a pretty big problem for the game industry, it means the developers are losing out on the hard earned cash that they would've earned if their games weren't pirated. Here's a list of the most pirated games as of 27 December 2009 via torrenting:

PC

1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2　(4,100,000) (0.0)
2. The Sims 3　(3,200,000)
