Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Leaked?

[Oct 29, 2011, 3:31 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

VentureBeat has word that all or part of the PC edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is in the hands of pirates after being stolen from a warehouse. The explanation of what was taken is a little vague: "Evidently, pirated discs began to spread quickly after an employee at a shipping warehouse (run by a huge shipping company) in Fresno, Calif., stole one disc. It’s not clear how many full copies spread this way, as the disc that was stolen was apparently Disc 2 of a two-disk set for the PC. Security may have been too tight for the thief to steal the other disc."

Having multiplayer be the main draw of the game such as with cd keys or something like steam accounts (or blizzard with star craft) is one great way to have a "carrot" instead of a "stick".
If a multiplayer game is popular enough, there will be in-official servers and/or LAN-emulators. Heck, even MMOs are being "pirated" through freeshards.

So as a result, IMHO, its far better to use carrot than stick, and have limited DRM such as steam. Most other measures are useless beyond screwing and annoying legitimate customers.
Of course the carrot works better than the stick when it comes to video games. Video games arent a necessity of life, there are nothing more than luxury. You cannot force someone to pay for something he doesnt need to exist. You will NOT get more revenue by trying to force people into paying. Ubisoft is actually learning this the hard way with their 90% reduction of PC sales after the introduction of Ubi-DRM.

Learn to live with "piracy", learn to make attractive games, care for your customer and dont spend ressources on people who wont give you their money anyway.
