About the only thing I can see that's wrong with this diabolical plot is the fact suckers have to download an 18GB torrent before the malware is unleashed. Otherwise, there's a bogus torrent of Grand Theft Auto V's nonexistent PC version that's claimed several victims of late.
It's not unusual to see the latest, hottest PC games available for download at The Pirate Bay, the Swedish file-sharing website that's one of the planet's primary sources for pirated entertainment — just not normally on the very front page.
Ubisoft, the company that once used a pirate hack to fix one of its PC games, seems to be taking questionable shortcuts once more, as a Reddit user explores their downloadable special edition Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood soundtrack's shady origins.

Let's be clear. Torrenting games is not good. It's bad. But, if you are planning on torrenting games, think twice about doing so with The Witcher 2, because you could be hunted down and fined.

Two and a half years ago, the enormously talented community at OverClocked Remix set about creating the ultimate Donkey Kong Country 2 remix album. Featuring 1.25GB of amazing free music, the end result is definitely Serious Monkey Business.

TorrentFreak put up a list of the top 10 games copied and shared over BitTorrent for the year 2008, and Spore, quite unsurprisingly, leads them all by a country mile.
