Lets put something in to perspective here.
Crytek say "its all piraters fault crysis didnt sell well"
now lets look at reality.
If a good game comes out, millions will pirate it, maybe more so than those who got crysis. Yet these good games still outsell crysis. So can you REALLY blame piracy for the games downfall? not really. Crysis isnt some special case which the whole illegal community goes "oh i know, lets not buy this and all just download it, but lets take it easy on other games, kay?" If Crytek think that happens, they are morons.
If anythings its more due to the fact people are beginning to hate EA, making it the worst publisher they could release the game on
