Hey guys, have you heard the news? Things get LEAKED on the INTERNET! Yeah, I never saw that one coming either, but apparently the latest victim is Gears of War 2, having been hacked and distributed on torrent sites two weeks before release.
GamesIndustry.biz notes that on one site, 600 people were seeding the 6.76GB file for 6000 eager leeches — a mere fifteen hours after upload.
This happens to every major retail game and frankly, it’s rather ridiculous and more than a little low. The odd bit of piracy is something that never makes me blink, but the wholesale ripping off of a game has never sat well with me.
Frankly, I don’t blame Epic for being less than keen on putting Gears 2 on the PC.
