Wow this really does suck. I seen the news story online and had to come and read up here to see what exactly has happened. I can't even begin to imagine all the texture files, code, mapping etc... that you guys put into these games, and some guy steals it and puts it online :( . I do have a question for you though. If you want to track down where the files are being downloaded right now, why not use sites like packetnews or ircspy and shut down the servers offering the files?? Or maybe even shut down irc search engines like these. This would seem like a logical step towards killing all piracy period, not just for this game. We all know these bad places for getting games are out there, so why havent the FBI (or who ever) shut down these places? I will never understand why people download this stuff, I mean think about it, you don't get the nice DVD Case or instruction book. You don't get the quality of game like you get with the bought product, and you can't go online and play the game if your X-box has an Illegal chip in it. Makes no sense to me, but then again i'm a programmer myself and would never steal this stuff. I hope you find who did this, and I hope they get the Max penalty for it.
If any of this was not supposed to be posted because it breaks the rules i'm sorry. I had to ask those questions though...
