More bad news for developers, publishers and probably honest gamers. We’re hearing reports that Killzone 3 has been ripped and uploaded to torrent sites for dishonest gamers to download and run on their hacked PS3s.
The file is apparently the EU version of the game and weighs in at a hefty 41.4GB (with a non-3D version available at roughly half that) so hopefully the size will be enough to put off most people who might otherwise have been tempted. If not, this is the first major leak on Sony’s console and is sure to be causing some distress behind the scenes at SCEE and Guerilla Games.
We’re sure it will be just another incentive for Sony to work doubly hard on counteracting the security holes that have appeared in the console over the past few months and we hope that a swift resolution can be found without further impacting on honest gamers’ experiences.
In the meantime, we urge all of our readers to support the industry and buy their games.

This is stupid this is exactly the kind of a thing that will get games locked to one console and all kinds of other stuff for gods sakes stop doing this people are ruining it for us who actually buy our games but i’ve always said that people always ruin everything them selfs

I am NOT condoning piracy but I think statements such as “this will harm the industry” are a little naive. If companies were that worried, they would be more competitive and lower their prices, as I see the price as being the main reason for illegal downloading. Plus, I’m pretty sure the gaming industry is still booming in a recession! I think people are silly to download pirate games….paying £300 for a console that might get blocked because you wanted to save £40, like with the Black Ops bans. It’s not like you didn’t know the cost of games when you bought the consoles. These people will pay eventually, one way or another.
