How do they calculate the number of times it's been pirated?
> We take overall amount of activations minus legit sales per platform minus 10% (to offset for people who activated a legit copy on more than 1 device).
An assumption of 10% multiple device activations is begging the original question.
Pirating on Windows, Mac, and Android is pretty easy, but on iOS it requires jailbreaking, which is pretty limiting these days. I doubt his piracy numbers are anywhere near what he's claiming.
- stordoff 11y agoIs a reason given for the 10% figure? (I looked in the article but didn't see anything) I can easily see the figure being much higher (e.g., for PC: laptop+desktop, for iOS: iPhone+iPad)
