Alarm bells were ringing all over Crytek’s buildings this week after they realised that internet pirates are seriously damaging their business. While some advocates have been claiming that software pirates only download videogames in order to test them and then purchase later, the steadfast Germans are proving otherwise. Apparently “The number of users who downloaded [Cryteks] patches, there were a lot more active players than there were unit sales. And I think we can safely say if they were still playing the game by the time our latest patch released, and if they were playing on a pirated copy, then they were a sale that didn’t
happen,” Engine Business Manager Harald Seeley told Edge-Online .
