The gaming industry has long been plagued by piracy, and game torrents have exacerbated the problem. According to a report by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the global video game industry lost over $29.2 billion in 2019 due to piracy. The use of game torrents allows users to download and play games without purchasing them, depriving game developers and publishers of revenue. This can have a significant impact on the industry, as game development is a costly and time-consuming process.
