Pirates pirate because they want to play.
Cloth maps, coins and statuettes cannot be easily pirated (yet).

Yeah, I always thought the 'feelies' were the best anti-piracy method. Especially when they were integral to the game. Of course, now if you have to look up something outside your monitor, people bitch about it.
If you get caught first time shoplifting, you usually don't even have to pay a fine. And there's no jail time involved. You just get a mark on your record you can expunge after a few years because it wasn't a violent crime.
The ratio will ONLY be determined by how GOOD the game is.
It had lot of hype though. It wasnt good but it was well-known that it might be.Spore wasn't good and still people pirated it

Because the DRM was a bit harsh, although compared to Ubi's latest it's pretty nice.Well, apparently there were actually people who torrented it just to piss off EA.

Seconded.
An interesting move from CD Projekt
Don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but here in the UK we have a new system whereby they can just request that people's internet access is cut off for non payment of piracy fines. Saves the legal costs and encourages households to pay sensible fines. Does anyone else have anything similar in their countries?

As mentioned in someone else post, there are people that will always pirate game and never buy it. There is nothing that CDP can do about it. Those people surely don't use public trackers and have at least HMA turned on.
I just wanted to point out that I would gladly pay 200 eur for a game that would give me the feeling I had when I was playing PT, BG and NWN …

Perhaps this is just my stupid mind, but doesn't it actually make sense that an overhyped game that doesn't deliver is an easier target of piracy than a game that does? Why would people that "pirate occasionally" buy a mediocre game? Perhaps they would have bought it if it was a better game.
