MW3 leaked, Activision on the hunt.

Modern Warfare 3 comes out in just under a fortnight but some people are just too impatient and have decided to take it upon themselves to download the game, but little do they know Activision is already looking out for you and your PC-copy-stealing buddies.

He's hiding in your internets, snatching your games up, so Activision has decided to take it upon themsleves and are gonna be "knocking on doors around the country" and tracking IP's in the hope to give people the opportunity to hand over the game that apparently an employee working in a shipping warehouse in California was able to make off with the second disc of the 2-Disc game.

I did not know thats how MW3 was coming, even on PC. The disc has not ben put online and it is uncertain what the employee has done, if anything, but it has apparently spread quickly since the theft. On CraigsList in California, a $5000 fine would be given for people meddling with the pirated version of the game that "they will come get you." The poster claimed that Activision is leveling the fine as well as a permanent ban from online playing, adding, "I already went through it."

This company makes LOTS of money from game sales alone, count in 15$ DLC that ends up being the cost of another game, and they're set.

Oh, but that's not enough, they want to get more from people...they track them to get more money than the game is worth by 10x.

Also don't say that tracking costs them as IP tracking is probably simple.

By that logic news shouldn't be reporting on the South American drugs trade and all the death and crime surrounding it, i mean come on... i'm not living in North Korea here so i want to hear all news good and bad.

your fukin dumb.

Do you think pirates need a site like QJ to know when a game has been leaked?

It's CoD, so who cares? Only 12 year old raging kids play it.

Money grabbing activision, wouldnt they have made enough money selling that previous shit? CoD is just a fad, where give it time it will die off by itself. Just to think, activision's buggy/glitchy games are the ultimate copy protection, requiring updates every day just so the damn thing works properly

simple, download it for 360 and burn it with XGD3 ixtreme max.

keep trying to track!
