Yes, you read correctly pirates, Microsoft isn’t taking piracy of their games lightly. It’s a month before the official release of Gears of War Judgment, March 22, and the game already has piracy issues. A complete copy of Gears of War Judgment appeared overnight on torrent sites. Eurogamer was informed this by Microsoft…
“We are aware of isolated cases in which Gears of War: Judgment content has been popped on the web and are working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation immediately, consumers should be aware that piracy is illegal and we take vigorous action against illegal activity related to our products and services.”
This is similar to Halo 4’s piracy leak before it’s release last year. (However, the Halo 4 leak was closer to the actual release date.) Users who had been found with illegal Halo 4 copies faced ‘Microsoft’s banhammer’. Anyone who played the illegal Halo 4 risked being banned from Xbox Live for life. life. No guys, no, I don’t mean one year… MICROSOFT IS SERIOUS YOU NUMBSKULLS. They will keep true to their word, so think about that before you steal People Can Fly’s hard work on Gears of War Judgment. Think about it, I mean you’d be stealing a companies’ work, do you know how long they take making it? Do you know how much work they put into making a full fledged 3D game with good graphics? Too much work to have some guy steal it cuz’ he doesn’t want to wait a month or he’d rather it for free. Work isn’t free. If thats how it is, then I suppose game makers should stop making games in general, right? If we live in a world where everything can be free.
Either way Microsoft promises to treat these illegal actions the same yet again…
“Playing pirated copies of games, such as Gears of War: Judgment, is a violation of the Xbox Live Terms of Use and will result in enforcement action, such as account and console bans.”
This has happened before in the Gears of War series.. Gears of War 3 was also illegally leaked, except it wasn’t the full game. The pirated version appeared for 2 months before the official release date of Gears of War 3, and it ruined a large number of the campaign’s plot. Gears of War Judgment is also the first game to be developed at the Bulletstorm developer People Can Fly, Epic Games subsidiary. The original team for Gears of War is now working on mysterious and currently unknown projects.
Here is the newest official Gears of War Judgment trailer, it features the character Baird talking about the multiplayer game…
shut up u clown, am playing early & illegally & guess what fart face? NO BANS 🙂 i enjoy pirating of companies that create overpriced crap.
I sincerely hope you do!
if i unplug my internet can they still ban me when i play
They ban your console. Since 360s are made of toilet paper anyway, most people who are “perma banned” will likely just go buy a new one and make a new account.
And anybody who knows how to burn the game to a DVD and has a modded Xbox capable of playing it isn’t going to sign in to XBL. They’ll also probably use a secondary hard drive. And once the game actually releases, they’ll have a free copy capable of multiplayer with nobody the wiser.
In other words, nobody gives a shit what Microsoft is doing and it pleases me to see people so butthurt over this.
Saying a$$ instead of ass and pr1ck instead of prick doesn’t make you a badass!
