Deus Ex: Human Revolution Leak Lawsuit

[Jul 06, 2011, 10:29 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Square Enix is suing a group of 15 "Italian nationals" for leaking a preview build of Deus Ex: Human Revolution to torrent sites a couple of months ago, reports Kotaku. Word is: "As part of court filings issued last month in Washington, Square Enix accuse the fifteen of logging into the servers where the demo was hosted using the access information of an Italian games magazine (GMC), where they found the preview build of the game, copied it and uploaded it onto the internet."

The leak isn't a complete build of the game or anything either, far from it.

Oh. That's different.
Leaks in which you can complete, even if buggy, typically damage sales. Yes, it raises pre-release hype, but much of that hype goes into the leaked version and not a paid version.

Let's be honest here - if the game is as good as all the people playing the leak say then it would have received the same positive word of mouth the week of launch that it did the week of leak.
