I recall, at a minimum, that back in 2006 a review copy of Final Fantasy XII was leaked onto the internet a good while before the release and people were able to download and play that.ethelrednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-11771330549216453742011-02-13T10:38:35.600+00:002011-02-13T10:38:35.600+00:00People who buy their games will buy this one anywa...People who buy their games will buy this one anyway if they intended to do so.<br />People who download illegal copies will not buy it, whether there's an early leak or not.<br />Game sales are still high and profitable, piracy has never changed that. Those who use illegal copies wouldn't have the money to buy all the copies they get. It could even increase the popularity of the game with word of mouth. It's a moral problem, but not one with big financial impact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-25354799648844281662011-02-13T00:50:21.911+00:002011-02-13T00:50:21.911+00:00This is going to change exactly nothing.

And those apparently show that the console versions look very impressive, though some considerable distance behind a high-end PC.<br /><br />How they work gameplay-wise remains to be seen, but CryTek apparently haven't skimped on the console versions.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-14493881483846051722011-02-12T21:35:38.317+00:002011-02-12T21:35:38.317+00:00I suppose it will be interesting to see if sales a...I suppose it will be interesting to see if sales are any good after the leak, if word of mouth is good then it may help more than reviews, especially since it's coming out on PS3 and Xbox360, so those sales might not be affected (For example I could only play it on my PS3) so maybe people will say 'oh, others like it, I should try it.'<br /><br />(I realise there are probably big differences between the PC and console releases, I'm just thinking)<br /><br />Or EA may just use it as an excuse to try a new form of DRM...jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671754452498055684noreply@blogger.com
