(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: abu_has_the_power
The operation targeted more than 100 individuals and several game-specific warez groups, including Fairlight, Kalisto, Echelon, Class, and Project X. More than 200 computers were seized during the course of the raids, including 30 servers--one of which had in excess of 65,000 separate pirated game, movie, and software titles on it. The DOJ estimated the value of the pirated software seized in the operation as $50 million.

Why are these games going to be expensive? Are they so "special" that they will cost more than the usaul pc game?
