Last month, with the gaming community waiting eagerly for the release of Black Ops, the latest instalment in the Call of Duty series, news broke that that developer Treyarch was feverishly trying to contain a potential leak of the game. While partially successful, Black Ops still leaked a week before its due date. This is the story of how.
Even though someone got their mother called on him, the game still leaked early.

Piracy 1, Business company 0.

What's funny, even with the early leak and all of the adventures of this, it's still a decent game that made a LOT of money. So take it that this was an early demo. Otherwise, it looks as if piracy actually hurt their sales and we all know that's BS.

First: Who would want to pirate that piece of shit?

Secondly: These companies try so hard to prevent piracy, yet they fail every time. why not put that money towards making the game ohhh idk....less shittier?

Thirdly: Not to mention majority of the gaming population doesn't pirate. Its a small number that make a lot of noise in the news.

Well it's a multiplayer game, and you can't play online if you pirate... So I don't really see the point of pirating it! And I guess most people did, too, because it still sold very, very well.
