Imagine if that doesn't change and continues for less than half a year - say 150 days.

150 x 25,000 = £3,750,000
Not exactly chump change.

For those who care - well done.
For those who don't - stick your head back up your ass and STFU.

The fact that when the pirate game was released, anyone who was planning on downloading it illegally would have in the first couple of days makes your logic void. The fact you think the traffic that downloaded it the first day would last for 150days makes me bring up a quote of yours Man - some people here are so f***ing stupid.

People here know what your getting at, but with console games and a hugly hyped one like GTA brings massive interest, and if people get a chance to play it early they will download. BUT once the game is realised anyone who wants to play online(which would be a majority) would buy the real game. And I dont think you brought into account the fact people who have cracked 360's for d/l'ed games would be aware of the game being up for download, and highly doubt any of that audience would wait 149days to download it.
Realistically your talking 7-10 days max that a high amount of traffic would be downloading the game. And then nowhere near the first 24hrs of traffic. Your logic for coming up with them money figures are way off and make no sense tbh.

And just because someone doesnt agree with your little 'poor big billionare companys losing pennys' boo hoo attitude doesnt mean we need to STFU.
Ignorant much?
