All Crytek has done so far is issue a statement of disappointment. Not sure what was taken away from you... http://www.ea.com/crysis-2/blog/crysis-leak how can they blame piracy for this leak? the leak comes from within Crytek.. they should look into their employees who leaked it | ||

No, seriously, I'm still not seeing what you don't deserve. They haven't pushed back the release date or added more DRM or, well, anything*. And as far as I know, they didn't tell the entire PC community to die in a fire**. *At least, not yet. Nothing I can see you can complain about for the present. **are you complaining because of...harsh language? Really? | ||

Most likely, they simply added profiles to the Crytek Engine 3 to support PS3 and Xbox 360 hardware. Why on earth would they ditch their old Crysis 1 engine and completely rebuild their engine to FOCUS on consoles? Because that's what they would have to do to do any kind of "porting to PC" that everyone's accusing them of doing. You dont' know why? Because on PC you can add so much more to multiplayer then you can for consoles. So they make sure that everything that works for console and then make almost no changes and its a dumbed down version of a game that could be good for pc. look at call of duty modern warfail 2. They took away features the PC always had because of the console and they were too lazy to add it to the pc version. Lots of companies have been shitting on the pc version making it just like a console game (which again pc can do alot more then a console can) which is just retarded. Luckily not all companies do that but alot do when they do all 3 platforms. | ||

Most likely, they simply added profiles to the Crytek Engine 3 to support PS3 and Xbox 360 hardware. You really think porting the Crytek engine to consoles was easy as adding a profile? The Xbox 360 barely meets Crysis 1's minimum requirements. Why on earth would they ditch their old Crysis 1 engine and completely rebuild their engine to FOCUS on consoles? Because that's what they would have to do to do any kind of "porting to PC" that everyone's accusing them of doing. They're not "porting to the PC"; that's hyperbole. It is obvious, however, that Crysis 2 has been designed with consoles in mind (UI, simplified powers, no lean, no prone, smaller more linear maps, more handholding throughout etc.). Now you ask, why would they focus on consoles? Because EA wants more money. | ||

Besides I have participated in beta's before and I also was in on a alpha version of a game once. Not all games are as polished as blizzards beta's. | ||

Quite honestly, I think video game developers more about video game piracy than any of us, they're paid to make buckets of money*. It's much more difficult to crack an Xbox 360 or PS3 than, say, play a downloaded image file on a PC. I don't think anyone's even managed to create a soft-mod crack for either console yet**. And hardmodding is relatively unpopular for obvious reasons. Not exactly a DIY job...unlike, say, every PC crack. *Anyone who thinks that devs are moving towards consoles because they're heartless bastards who hate PC nerds is an idiot. They're heartless bastards paid millions to make profits, not rage on people. **I'm only absolutely certain that this is true for the PS3, though no amount of Google has uncovered a Xbox 360 softmod. ***Admittedly, piracy has also helped move developers towards multiplayer, which is not a bad thing. You know, I can agree with this "piracy hurting PC sales" bullshit but for very different reasons than what the publishers want you to believe. Piracy hurts PC sales not because you can potentially get something you want and not pay for it. It hurts because you can download a game, play it for 20 minutes, realise that it is yet another clumsy console port or that the game just simply sucks, delete and forget about it. This is what happens with 95% of the games that I download. I download them because you cannot return a game you bought because you thought it sucked, which is what is fundamentally wrong with the gaming industry. Why do you think publishers are so reluctant to make demos these days? If the game is actually good, I would argue that piracy is actually free promotion and helps the sales or in the worst case does not hurt them. | ||

I don't think there has ever been a game that I pirated and enjoyed, that I didn't actually buy. On the other hand, there have been many games that I pirated, realized it sucked balls, deleted it, then never played it again. | ||
