Bethesda Is Tired Of Spending Money Supporting Software Pirates

MTV Multiplayer writes: "Piracy remains one of the biggest issues facing PC gaming these days.

Last week, "Fallout 3?product manager Pete Hines told me that some development studios now calculate that up to half of their customer support calls involve dealing with people who have pirated copies of the game.

That's bad.

Hines discussed the problem of piracy with MTV Multiplayer just days before, ironically, the Xbox 360 version of "Fallout 3? leaked. Piracy is still far more prevalent on the PC side, which has serious implications for studios like Bethesda Softworks, whose development bread-and-butter has been PCs."
