PLEASE don't say that. Pirates are THE worst. Pirates affect the future of PC Gaming in such a terrible way. Cheaters only affect the multiplayer of one game. People need to wake up, we're in the console age, where every single developer makes more money from their console version than their PC version. More pirates mean less sales, less sales mean less and less reasons to make a PC version. I'm not saying we won't see any PC version at all in a near future. I'm saying Devs won't give a damn about their PC version and just make a crap X360 port that cost them almost nothing.
I didn't know about this until now. Man, Crytek, come on... really? How could you let that happen? There's a difference between trying to fix a graphical issue or a collision... and having a bug which lets ANYONE play the game online for free. I mean... Multiplayer is most of the time the reason why people buy a PC version. Because if they don't buy it, they can't play it. That's... disappointing.
Most people who Pirate will buy something if they like it if they don't they get rid of it, others that won't pay for it couldn't afford it anyways. A small minority will pirate just so as not to pay anything for it be because they svck at life.
With the crap games that are coming out and demo's that don't show enough to make a decsion if the game is worth it, as a PC player its hard to justify paying for something i am unsure I will like.
Crysis 2 is a good example of this, and after my experiance with this game, I now feel it is completly wrong for a company to produce a game and expect people to take thier word that it's worth $60, most of the demo's produced these days are NOT an accurate reflection of the game's they demo.
I get to test drive a car, why not a game? And for the record I didn't "test drive" this game, wish I had, I would have turned and walked away and still had 60 bucks to spend on something worth it.
Crysis 2 was well worth my money!! The SP has kept me engaged for quite some time! It is indeed sad that MP works for the pirated copy

I do hope their future patch will fend off the cheaters/pirates. I would like to play MP

Crysis 2 is far from what was promised, and there are bugs that NEVER should have made it to release. this games was not worth 60 bucks, I would pay at most 30 for it. They lied about DX11 they lied about it being a PC first game, they lied about it being better then Crysis 1.
This game stinks of a console port over now they have to back peddle to fix things that never should have existed at release, we payed 60 bucks for for a beta.
Do you like being a doormat for developers that produce crap, sprinkle some honey on it and say "Look! Its a honey cake! Only 60 dollors!". Today's consoles have reduce quality of games for larger profit margins and it makes me a sad panda.
