That... may be a problem.The Lost Big Boss said:
I suppose my biggest fear is the system requirements. Time travel is really not an option for my hardware price range.
My hope is that the brunt of Crytek's labor went into optimizing the engine and the capability for 64b bit OS. My rig (i7 950, win7 64 bit, ati 5850, 6g ram) ran Crysis Warhead (g4 bit) more smoothly than Crysis. I was under the impression it was because the engine was streamlined for Warhead.dryg said:
Metro 2033 is a unwieldy beast for sure, but not at all optimized. You can tell, when you still get similar fps on DRASTICALLY different render settings, that means they put 'everything they got' in the game with no regard for streamlined gameplay.
Security through obscurity is a terrible decision anyway. Just so we're clear on that part, as far as Crytek goes, ouch, wouldn't wish this on them. If an internal leak however stops them from making PC games, I don't see why the whole PC gaming scene has to suffer because they can't keep their devs/distributors etc. in check.
However, if source code was released, I might be curious to check it out from a technical standpoint, assuming the comments are left there, otherwise it's really worthless, since it's identical to something you that's run through a disassembler.
edit: I don't think this will hurt sales or anything much, I mean people who are going to buy it, they're going to do it either way. Assuming Crytek would have a decent PR department, I bet this could be spun into their favor. I'm predicting it won't.

And sue him for lost revenue. XD
uhh what? do you need me to list all the big games coming out this year? if "no one made games anymore" for PC I wouldnt be a PC gamer, and your tone sugests that you think we are pirates and/or stupid....oh and there is SteamMurderiser said:
as for pirates they can rot in hell
Appareantly the leaked beta is unstable as hell (who would have guessed), so I doubt the leak will have much of an impact.
The beta might make it possible to check out the game 45 days before release, but everyone will get the proper version regardless - one way or the other.

It's true, it's not just pc. These days though I think consoles have more hacked/pirated games than pc. Every pc gamer I know uses steam, therefore the games are legit. Whereas There are many people who pirate xbox 360 games, they're still making games for it right?drisky said:
I think this is both good and bad. It's really bad for Crytek, of course, and it really sucks that their game is getting leaked. I'm certainly going to still buy it and not download it and I hope not many people do download it. I can't help but be a bit pleased about the leak of any DRM code though. If analysis reveals any fundamental weaknesses in the DRM, this could be another whole DRM scheme rendered non-viable for future releases and that can only be a good thing. I support Crytek and sympathise with them, but would be more than happy to see their DRM supplier ruined.
I seriously don't get why anyone would even want an unfinished game. It's not like Crysis has some epic storyline we're all dying to see like Mass effect or Starcraft 2, it's a game about gameplay and graphics. If a beta build of Mass Effect 3 came out I could understand people picking it up to see the end even if most of the characters where placeholders and none of the weapons had any sound but Crysis? You may as well just wait a few weeks for Reloaded or Razor 1911 to release the usual crack on Piratebay to be honest.Staskala said:

I can see the scene all too clearly. The programmers and PR people sitting around a table, nobody saying a word. Then someone punches the table. One of the PR girls starts crying. All through this Cevat Yerli is on his feet, smoking a cigar, looking out of a window.
