Crytek and EA appeal to fans over Crysis 2 leak
Leaked torrent causes concern on Crysis 2 forum
It's been a rough weekend for Crytek. Late last Friday, an unfinished build of Crysis 2 surfaced on torrent sites across the net, heralding yet another victory for entitled, cheapass pirates while simultaneously making it harder for legitimate PC gamers to have nice things. Predictably, Crytek and EA a⛄re unimpressed.
%26ldquo;Crytek has been alerte﷽d that an early incomplete, unfinished build of Crysis 2 has appeared on Torrent sites. Crytek and EA are deeply disappointed by the news,%26rdquo; reads the latest post on the official.
%26ldquo;We encourage fans to support the game and the development team꧂ by waiting and purchasing the final, polished game on Ma♎rch 22...Piracy continues to damage the PC packaged goods market and the PC development community.%26rdquo;
No one is saying who leaked the 9.22GB file in questi𝓡on, but thetorrent itself is said to be a near-complete version of the game that will be released on March 22nd. Its description reads, %26ldquo;This is the full version, but an early build, leaked to the network. You can rౠun any level, there are rollers, etc. But it is visible that the beta %26ndash; some of the inscriptions are not final, etc.%26rdquo;
