TorrentFreak released a list of the top 10 most pirated games in 2008.
With almost double the number of pirated copies as its first runner up, Spore is the most pirated game in 2008. Spore is famous for its overly restrictive DRM system which must have contributed to its abnormal piracy rate. Only 10 days after the game's launch date, already half a million people had downloaded the game. During the months after that, another million people obtained a copy of the game via BitTorrent.
The top 10 most pirated games of 2008 are:
Spore (1,700,000)
The Sims 2 (1,150,000)
