According to Kotaku, the PC version of Crysis 2 has been leaked online, or at least a development version, despite not being due for release for over a month yet.
The news first surfaced here, with the version of the game fifty days early but apparently still fully playable from start to finish and including the multiplayer portion.
EA responded with the following:
Crytek has been alerted that an early incomplete, unfinished build of Crysis 2 has appeared on Torrent sites. Crytek and EA are deeply disappointed by the news.
We encourage fans to support the game and the development team by waiting and purchasing the final, polished game on March 22.
They also reiterated the fact that piracy is “continuing to damage the PC market” and confirmed that the game is still in development.
It’s not clear who leaked this particular version, but we’re wondering how they sleep at night.

Interesting. I myself don’t condone piracy, but I wonder how many of the people in this thread who are taking the moral high ground have ever watched a pirate film…

It’s shocking how many games both on Console and PC, are being leaked for download before release. Whats worst is how many people are openly admiting to Piracy on the comments.
It’s not a myth that that Piracy hurts sales of any media. The worst thing that can happen because of this, is that the studios that created this game will shut down.
PC fanboys, sure you didn’t get the demo or a beta but that doesn’t mean you’re entitiled to download the game illegally.
