Beautiful Game Studios general manager Roy Meredith has told CVG that there's a 90 percent piracy rate for the developer's Championship Manager series.
"That's not just a number in the air, we can measure it and we know that there are a huge amount of pirated copies," he said during a recent trip to our offices.
Zoom"There's a real issue around DRM ... I'd love to defeat pirates, but actually, with all this mess on Spore and Football Manager, which I haven't been able to play this year... I spent about three hours trying to go through this registration process and I really want to play it but I've got other things to do with my life.
"There are actually other ways of dealing with piracy too," Meredith added. "One is to compete price-wise. We haven't got to pay royalties to Sony or Microsoft, so we can go into territories and price compete."
