I mean not really. Even if they have a rough idea of how many times their game has been pirated by looking at seeder counts on torrents or whatever, theyre definitely not taking those numbers as a win and saying “look how many people didnt pay for our product, that just proves everyone really wants it”. Theyre comparing sales numbers.
Yup i bike year round also and the worst part is drivers forcing me into the slush and plow furroughs, which would be solved by proper bike lanes.
