According to the FacePunch forums, people arn't downloading this because they have respect for Crytek and will actually buy it, and I'm inclined to agree. I will be doing the same.

i find this whole situation hilarious. Any PC dvd games i buy i download a crack for anyway so i don't have to worry about the fragile disk. Which is why i think the industry should try and migrate to digital downloads. Doesn't help if you have a console and no internet though.

This would have been a minor inconvenience if major websites resisted the urge to make a spectacle out of i and inform everyone of the existence of the leak.

I think someone was pissed off with the bad multiplayer demo on Xbox 360 and did some digging. Either that or a beta tester got the files somehow.

Okay I have to make this dig even though I loved crysis but the MP on xbox was way too buggy.

"Wow this must be a real 'Crysis' for Crytek."

This really isn't going to have much impact. As usual, you are all getting up in arms and self-righteous over nothing.

Note to PC gamers: this is why no-one makes games for you anymore.
Are we going to have to bring out the "happily dying" picture? Besides games get hacked on every system, not just the pc. Its not a legitimate enough reason not to port it.
It's true, it's not just pc. These days though I think consoles have more hacked/pirated games than pc. Every pc gamer I know uses steam, therefore the games are legit. Whereas There are many people who pirate xbox 360 games, they're still making games for it right?
Certainly, all of the more recent Call of Duty games have their 360 versions leaked about a week before launch. From what I've heard, the leak contains missing textures, suggesting to me that it's not what Crytek is working with right now. Considering the master key to the DRM is included, it smacks of an inside job.

Ultimately, whether this will kill sales or not is largely academic. The fact that PC gamers are being tarred with the "they're all pirates" brush is annoying (especially considering that music is being leaked and pirated far, far more often and yet music fans aren't being declared "they're all pirates").

However, if source code was released, I might be curious to check it out from a technical standpoint, assuming the comments are left there, otherwise it's really worthless, since it's identical to something you that's run through a disassembler.
You have never seen what a disassembler produces have you? (as it is never much like the actual code).

There are massive differences between the actual code and raw output (for a number of technical reasons I won't bother going in to).

It would be like reading a book where all the character's, object's and place's names had been removed (confusing and lacking many required subtle nuances).

This is why PC gaming is getting the short end of the stick. Well, not this exactly, but things similar to this makes publishers realize PC gaming isn't worth the trouble.

Fucking pirates ruining everything for everyone. Illegal downloads and oil tanker hijackings.

Because console piracy doesn't exist, right?

Would love it if it was actually a trap. Removed frame rate caps to burn out the pirates video cards like in early SC2, trying to save your progress maxes your computers memory, anything else. Something that would damage the computers used to play the pirated copy.

I am sure it does exist, but I have never heard of a console exclusive getting leaked on the internet a month before released.

Aprently from the youtube'd vids I've seen you play as prophet. Further making me go WTF happened when they whent back to the island. Have I missed something?

I'm still going to grab a copy around day 0 other releases permitting me the time. A payed copy mind you.
It's not really a spoiler since it's the start of the story. You do not play prophet, you play some standard marine (he's also a mute, complete non-character unlike nomad or sykes). The difference is, you're playing IN prophet's suit, since he's been pwned by alienz and needs you to deliver the plot device (vaccine or something, unimportant tbh). Since it's a full-body suit, not many people know that it's not prophet in it though.
