Yes, it's one of those spurious PR survey's used to highlight a product - in this case the rather naff 7 Sins - but I thought the findings were worth a blog. 1164 gamers were asked what their biggest gaming "sin" was. Using cheat codes and playing pirate games were the most popular, but feigning illness from work to play a game was up there too...
The results were:
1. Cheating: Using cheats to progress in games (26.1 per cent)
2. Stealing: Playing pirated games (18.68)
3. Ignorance: Leaving partner's phone call to continue playing (11 per cent)
4. Sabotage: Deliberately hindering or altering someone else's game (6.7 per cent)
5. Lying: Feigning illness from work in order to play computer games (4.3 per cent)
6. Coveting: Only borrowing games from a friend's library rather than buying your own copy (3.2 per cent)
7. Spitefulness: Giving away game endings deliberately. (2.7 per cent)
