Computer and Video Games spoke with Beautiful Game Studios general manager Roy Meredith, who says they have suffered an approximate 90% piracy rate with their Championship Manager series of football/soccer simulations, claiming this is a very accurate estimate, though the reasons for this certainty are not offered: "That's not just a number in the air, we can measure it and we know that there are a huge amount of pirated copies." Interestingly, his thoughts on addressing this include revisiting the game's price point, not just its copy protection: "There are actually other ways of dealing with piracy too; One is to compete price-wise. We haven't got to pay royalties to Sony or Microsoft, so we can go into territories and price compete." Championship Manager 09 is currently expected for release in April.
