Topic	Are there real world examples of game studios going under due to piracy?
Kungfu Kenobi 11/25/20 10:22:20 PM #14:	Iron Lore Entertainment and their game Titan Quest are sometimes given as an example. The short version is that a faulty pirate version circulated and lead to two major headaches: bad word of mouth, and a costly wild goose chase to fix showstopping bugs. It's debatable if the former cost them sales, but it's at least plausible. The latter had a tangible cost to the company until the source was discovered. --- This album is not available to the public. Even if it were, you wouldn't wanna listen to it! <cite>Kungfu Kenobi posted [p:947610367] in Are there ...
