Question: "How often would you say you've purchased a PC game after pirating it ?" The source provides the following explanation regarding the methodology: ''Before we dig into the results, it’s important to note that this was an open survey, with nothing to stop the respondents from lying or taking it multiple times to skew the results. It’s possible some respondents answered in bad faith—and we have identified where the results skew in jokey ways—but given the size of our response pool, we believe the resulting answers paint a credible picture of piracy in 2016.'' All figures are estimates.
