TorrentFreak has posted some statistics on the most pirated games of the past year. Leading the list by a large margin is Spore, made infamous even before its release for the draconian DRM attached to the game. It was downloaded through BitTorrent roughly 1.7 million times, with The Sims 2 and Assassin's Creed following at just over a million each. (It's worth noting that Spore came out in September, so that figure is essentially for a mere three months.) GameSetWatch has posted a related piece discussing the countermeasures involved in dealing with piracy. It's the second article in a series about piracy; we discussed the first a couple days ago.pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/06/0734206amp;fro m=rss"img src="http://games.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp; style=h0amp;sid=08/12/06/0734206"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/06/0734206amp;fro m=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p
