I call bull****. Crytec lost billions of dollars in their own mind, fact is i only buy a game if its worth it, Crysis just isn't.

I (what some would call) warezed Starcraft + Broodwar Before buying it, from a release group called Razor 1911, now heres the difference, The Razor release, wasn't the full product, it was missing both music, cutscenes and audio dialogue, Still the 200mb's was enough to get me hooked, so i went down and bought the battlechest, Its NEVER been off my hdd since. While i don't support piracy, or actual warezing, i do make allowance for a person to download a full version, if there is no decent demo available, at the time most of the Starcraft Demo's were offline As long as they delete it should they not want to buy it, or buy it if they do.

(and no, im not saying to go out and commit ludicrous acts of piracy.... anyone who reads it like that is an idiot and should be forced to walk the plank of my Space pirate ship.

If i was to download Crysis, if it was good, i'd buy it, but **** like that hasn't interested in me a long time, its just the same old dry fps crap, nothings changed since Halo. Which is why i would rather download frickin 32b ports of the build and source engines so i can play ole school Duke3D or Doom 1/2.

Crytec lost sales due to using the old boring, stale, and dry format of previous FPS games.

PCXL-Fan has sent me a pm saying i might get banzorred.

The rules while saying they don't support piracy, don't mention not naming Release groups, if this is wrong, it should be added to the rules.

Secondly, I own 1.05 and 1.05b copies of Starcraft and Broodwar and have since gotten 7 of my friends to also buy it. I feel that the right thing was done in the end.
