Well, this will certainly kill any future PC game development by Crytek and possibly others. Unless it's an MMO or those cheezy Facebook games, I think within 3-5 years the only thing we can look forward to as PC gamers are shitty ports from XBox and PS3.
And I think you guys who believe this was done on purpose some sort of seriously misguided. Crytek was absolutely furious after 4 million copies of Crysis were illegally downloaded and swore they would never develop for the PC again, but reconsidered after a year or two. These would be the last developers I'd expect to purposely release a game for promotional purposes.
When your game is being handled by well over a thousand development people - who are working on everything from music, to textures, to voice-overs - all it takes is one disgruntled ******* who's Momma dropped them on their head at birth to put a copy on the Torrent sites. Just like the Wikileaks info. This isn't a Crytek conspiracy people - it's ONE person with a personal agenda who did this.
This totally sucks. But I'll be one of those legitimately buying a copy while millions of thieves are downloading it right now.

I'm sure it is an insiders job, and what is perplexing that no body learns from such incidents happening again and again. Anyway, I am sure genuine buyers will buy it nonetheless disregarding this leaked/ pirated version.

Leaked? By whom? Someone working at the company?
Just as much as the MPAA would like us to believe that its people with camcorders in movie theatres that are responsible for piracy, in reality its people working in the industry that release full working copies, or screeners.

This is news to you guys? We've been discussing this on facepunch since early yesterday.
TomSEA said:
Yeah Princeton - we all know your true colors and mantra. It's always the developers fault, not the thieves fault. And if it can be stolen - you have it. Always refreshing to hear more of YOUR nonsense.

All though folks buying tri-sli GTX 580s or crossfire 6970s or whatever, what's the point anymore? Nothing will EVER take advantage of that hardware especially at this rate.

Good job Pirates, now that's just 1 more reason for developers to abandon PC gaming and leave consolized ports as scraps for the real PC gamers.
