There's no data for that 90% claim.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoThere presumably was behind the dead link, see https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/world-of-goo-piracy-rate-82 https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/world-of-goo-piracy-rate-82 The original claim was based on the number of IPs that submitted to the leaderboard compared to the number of games sold.
- iSnow 3y agoBut if it's IP-based, it's completely unreliable. My home DSL gets a new IP# every 24h and I know that is not uncommon in Europe at least. I bought it both for Mac and iOS, and I would be responsible for hundreds of false-positive "pirated installs" as I played it a long time.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoThe link addresses that by saying 76% of player IDs only connected from 1 IP. So the 90% is high, but not by a massive amount.
- vanderZwan 3y agoAs the other comment pointed out, there is. The lack of DRM meant that anyone could submit to the leaderboard. Which, to me at least, sounds like it should be one of the more reliable estimates out there all things considered.
