Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Leaked - briefly
(hx) 11:42 PM CEST - Oct,29 2011 - Post a comment / read (14)
Yeah, the PC version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is already floating around in the seas of piracy. How did it get out onto the web and into the hands of gamers before itâ€™s official release date? According to Venture Beat, someone stole it. The PC version of the game, or at least part of it, has been circulating among pirates in the U.S., who illegally copy and share it without paying Activision Blizzard or its retailers. Thatâ€™s a big problem, as Activision Blizzard is expected to sell more than 20 million copies of the game in 2011 alone, according to Arcadia Research. That amounts to more than $1.2 billion in sales at retail.

Piracy has always been a problem with video games, especially for PC titles. But the pirates go after Call of Duty because itâ€™s the big prize. Every year, a cat-and-mouse game ensues. Activision Blizzard closely monitors manufacturing in the weeks leading up to shipment, since it only takes one stolen disk to set off the viral spread of pirated copies. But itâ€™s hard to stop inside jobs.

Evidently, pirated discs began to spread quickly after an employee at a shipping warehouse (run by a huge shipping company) in Fresno, Calif., stole one disc. Itâ€™s not clear how many full copies spread this way, as the disc that was stolen was apparently Disc 2 of a two-disk set for the PC. Security may have been too tight for the thief to steal the other disc.

Only disk 2 was stolen?

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me. Developers whine and the kids all go out to buy it out of guilt. Awwwwwwww.

Really? I'd rather go buy some indie games, which are going to be more than one (for the same amount they'll be charging).

Drop dead, Shitvision.

Who cares? The hardcore players of this will buy it just to get multiplayer and the casual pirates who just try it because they can won't. Piracy probably doesn't affect sales negatively, and may well affect it positively (some of those casual copiers may like it enough to buy to go multiplay).

They are just getting started early on the piracy whinging, because Battlefield 3 is already pissing and shitting all over it.

Nothing to disagree about the last comments. Just wanna mention that piracy does exist. I don't see any use to juggle with numbers, but I have played games I didn't bought, like an unknown number of others.
So the fact piracy is reducing sales, by what number ever, can't denied. :P

This whining is a sport, good for the media, good for explaining later bullsh1t like server deactivation or poor support... reckoning.

all the consoles have been leaked.. only on xbox can you play online with the leaked version with he risk of having ur xbox hardware id be banned from xbox live.
as for me I bought the game and I am enjoying it with out fear of being banned.

OMG! OMG! NeonField 3 is crushing all our sales records ! What do we do ?!
- I got an idea, but don't tell the rest of the crew !
I'll release a leak, so that might get the attention away from NeonField, and back with us !
- But then, what about our sales figures ?!?!
- Don't mind that, we can use that "leak" as the source of our crap game's poor sales as a bonus !
- Oh man, That's a great idea ! We'll give you a bonus !
