You probably already know it - fully functional (cracked) Crysis is available on torrent sites and it was downloaded more than 30.000 times (which may change to something like 100.000 till Monday morning). Read about it here :arrow:

Crytek admits that it is hard blow for them. I think that Razor1911 cracked the version available for pre-download from EA store. Crysis lacks advanced protection that f.e. Bioshock has and that was difficult to be cracked. Note that there was sold over 1.000.000 copies of Bioshock before its protection was broken.

Crytek is going to unlock the game on November 14th for those who preordered the game (through EA store only?) according to one article that i've read on this topic - so that they can play it earlier than on 16th (official release date).

Please discuss this without linking to torrent sites or talking about downloading or playing the cracked game.

I pre-ordered the game, and even though I could download now and not really be blamed for wanting what I have already purchased, I am going to wait for my lovely copy to arrive in the mail. Gears of War and The Witcher shall keep me entertained until then.

Bioshock cracking took a while but was worth it...any game wihtout mp, is not worth it. Also, if Crysis IS as good as I think it will be, I will buy it.

despite the fact that I'm downloading it now.

It's not really news that a game has been cracked and is available to download is it?

And if it is the EA Downloader one, then they should really encrypt it better or something, you don't get this problem with pre-loaded Steam games.

That's probably because Valve are a lot smarter than EA. :D

yeah I preordered the game as well

Yerli brothers must be really upset at the moment.

I preordered the game, so makes little difference to me.

I don't mind discussion about a group cracking the game before release, or whatever... but I'd prefer it if people are gonna do the naughty and download it, that they don't publicly state so on this forum.

They need to release it ASAP.

They are losing money.

Czech prestigious hardware site PCtuning (something like Anandtech) informed about it and the guy said, that from his sources he knows, that most of czech shops have the game in stock now.

It would be nice if they release it earlier, BUT i think, that they will not. Although I've read on InCrysis that some stores may start to sell the game earlier - http://www.incrysis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=548

To clarify the unlocking of predownloads on 14th

Good job EA!

First you screw over BF2 players, then you mess up on the demo not once (delay) not twice (delay of another 2 days) but three times (release the wrong demo).

Now you release a game on a predownload system that sucks and now it's cracked and open to the public.

Good job.
