NEPP we learned from a trio of researchers who were commissioned to study objectively BitTorrent game piracy and to determine some quantifiable data on piracy of the game. (PDF, integrated below) Investigators, Anders Drachen, WD Bauer and Kevin Robert Veitch, was a huge lack of objectivity in the investigation on both sides of the debate on piracy. They saw a lot of negativity in the side of the industry and the positivity of the other side.

Forskning.no According to this lack of objectivity has led to the gaming industry to inflate the numbers of piracy (from the Google translation)

These include an influential 2009 report, presented by the American Association of Commerce for game manufacturers, ESA. This, according Drachen indicate that piracy is two to three times more - depending on how the release of the press interpreted the ESA.
  • The Danish researchers estimate is 290 million sets per year. Compared with the figures shows the ESA 600 000 000 pirated copies of games a year, and because of the uncertainty in the measurement method, which is very secret, the U.S. figures to be considerably higher, depending Drachen.



information To counter this subjectivity, the researchers selected a sample of all commercial games from November 2010 to January 2011 and observed the activity of these games on BitTorrent and combined with other information such as game scores and review of the sexes. In total, made a list of 173 games of interest, of which 127 are in BitTorrent. With these data, the following conclusions:



most games that have had a follow-up of less than 50,000 unique pairs observed in BitTorrent. At the same time, the 10 most popular games was a unique combination of 5.37 million peers. Games "Action" cut the lion's share of the activity of BitTorrent, including 45.61% of all peer review unique. "The role plays, of which only 10 were observed, representing 15.58% of unique pairs. However, when they met in singles matches were games of" Action "less popular than the 'Racing "Role" and games of "simulation" which includes a 0.95%, 1.6%, 1.43% and 1.08% respectively.
aggregate scores were positively correlated with the number of unique pairs. That, plus the Metacritic score, most unique pairs found in BitTorrent. In total, there were approximately 12.6 million unique access to 127 peer games on BitTorrent.
