ESA releases report on worldwide software and game piracy; says Chinese offenders are hurting legit game companies in the region.

Malaysia and China are among the countries pirating the most software, including video games, according to a report from the Entertainment Software Association. The ESA provides a filing each year to the US Trade Representative, which uses it to produce an annual "Special 301" report. This year's Special 301 said Malaysian operations remain the top producers of pirated discs. Malaysian factory-made game and software dubs have been seized in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, the US, and South America.

Piracy is wrong! Support game developers like EA so they can dominate the market and buy Ubisoft

I really dislike EA now. First they obtained the NFL License for 5 years, then supposedly bought out the ESPN name, that leaves competitors with no ability to release their games. No competition, no innovation with the Madden series. I personally liked NFL 2k series a lot more, the online play was far superior and now this supposed buyout of Ubi is another blow to the industry. EA has grown far to big
