Piracy has been a bane for developers since day one of computing, but if you knew that your game had a 90% piracy rate, wouldn’t you be pissed?

World of Goo co-creator Ron Carmel isn’t pissed when he claims that the game is pirated at the rate of “about 90%.” He comes to this conclusion by looking at the number of unique IP addresses connecting to the game’s leaderboard server.

"We’re getting good sales through WiiWare, Steam, and our website. Not going bankrupt just yet!" he wrote rather plainly. Carmel added that a few players had illegally downloaded the game and then decided to purchase it, though he noted that those buyers formed a “very small percentage.”
