Warning: EXTREMELY long article

This guy goes over piracy very thoroughly. People rationalize and believe that people that pirate play as a demo. Well, they might. Their friends might. But the vast majority of pirates don't pay the developers unless they get sued.

Crysis was one of the most pirated games if its release year, and is pretty high on the list of all time. Yet, Crytek has still developed with PC clearly in mind. Is this how we should repay them? I wouldn't blame Crytek if they decide to drastically change their approach concerning the PC platform from now on. I hope that's not the case, but if you can't see how piracy is harming the PC industry (let alone the moral, ethical, and legal issues,) you are blind. Yes, games can be successful when there's piracy. However, it discourages developers big and small to innovate or take risks.

I could go on, but it's late. I hope that the majority of PC gamers are honest and refuse to download the torrent.

Wow Too much big topic!!

Wow Too much big topic!!
It's worth the read. It's a very good, well written article.

I won't download it, with the footage videos im OK, they've answered pretty much all my questions from the gameplay and it's better than expected, day 1 purchase, or pre-order is they allow Steam Pre-orders, I've had some troubles with EA store in the past

and Although Crysis 1 was pirated a lot, it did sold well, over 3 Million units, and that's a lot for a singleplayer game with a Average unsupported multiplayer

My guess is that Piracy on Crysis 2 will be much less because the multiplayer is awesome and people who pirate to try the game then buy it will only try the leak
