However, the missing component is this:

Doesn't matter. The Force binds us, creates us. It's in all things. It IS God. The Force wins. Always and forever.

Vader. No question. He could stop Link from moving any muscle in his body from across quite some distance. He could corrupt and warp his mind, erasing his memory in seconds. He could choke him and kill him instantaneously across the galaxy. ACROSS THE GALAXY.

THIS IS VERY POORLY DONE.

A developer seems to be the source of the leak. As in he/she put it out there. The one leaked is a developer copy with the master key for MP.

Not true. Try Ironclad Games, DICE, and Valve. Among many more.

I didn't deny that. But the OP's post is pretty much saying that people can only pirate on PC. It's more than possible on console.

One guy on the forums I frequent played the first level and LOVED it. Usually he rants about how the first Crysis wasn't great in his eyes. And he has good taste in games - hates CoD, likes BF, etc.

It was a developer build, which points to a super-likely internal leak. Security would do little at that point.

You seem to be speaking out of ignorance. I recall two Halo games being leaked and widely pirated before release. Same story with either MW2 or BO. All for consoles.

Wrong. It's on Impulse and EA Download Manager as well. In certain ways, both are superior to Steam: they don't need to run in the background of games purchased through them, they allow you to install the purchased games on multiple PCs (LAN!), and they allow for profile creation (as in, different users on a PC can…

It won't kill their PC sales. The piracy would have happened anyway. Those who would pirate it later are the ones pirating it now. Also, many of those pirating it now are treating it as a demo since Crytek seems to have forgotten their PC roots (and success via PC gaming) by not yet releasing any demo.

Reading tons of news posts about this - many, if not most, mention that it's a developer build. And that it came from inside.

Do understand that the leak came from within. It's a developer build that was leaked. No DRM involved.
