As much as I enjoyed Crysis (far above the norm here I'd gather...), I'm still pissed at Crevat for his calling us all thieves.
I also didn't care for his whining about his unverifiable piracy rates. He claimed 20 to 1 pirated copies to purchased copies, which of course he never backed up with any hard data. The most I've ever found on torrent sites through research was about 4 million. (I did this by adding up all of the different torrents and their total downloaded numbers.) That's less than a 4 to 1 ratio, considering that Crysis sold somewhere between 1 million and 1.5 million based on EA's reported data. While that is still high, consider that many people jacked a warez copy just to see if the damn thing would run on their PC.
I can understand a developer being righteously pissed at watching something they worked hard on being taken without just compensation. What I can't understand is why that developer would throw a hissy fit and paint all gamers with a broad, insulting brush.
Having said all that, I am looking forward to Crysis 2, and if it isn't completely lobotomized for consoles I will definitely give it a look when it ships.
