Sure, they run into some piracy issues themselves, but PCs will always be the easiest for the dishonest to take advantage of. Given the proprietary technology built into the console market, it's much easier for Microsoft, Nintendo, and PS3 to control what people do with their systems. The struggle to control DRM and prevent piracy has quickly become one of the largest issues that cross-platform publishers are having to deal with, and there isn't one clear-cut solution.

Even after a near-complete developer build of Crysis 2 was leaked onto the internet, the game's developer Crytek says that it hasn't shaken their faith in the PC crowd one bit. For now though, the market still has its faithful supporters. The rampant nature of software piracy has become a growing threat for the future of PC, with publishers having to calculate lost sales at an increasing rate. Considering just how much momentum the console market has picked up over the past decade, the PC gaming community would be happy to do without any major setbacks or troubles.
