Bloody pirates!

Is anyone else annoyed by all of the crack/key gen videos on youtube for CloD?

I haven't watched any of them. I don't even have the game yet. But it's annoying that people are pirating this game so freely, when we know how much work is being put into it. It's also annoying that i search for new CloD videos to enjoy, and all i get in results are these videos made by dickheads.

There must be something that can be done to these people?

if you search for the game title, you get more crack/keygen videos for it than you do actual videos.

I was marking them as fraud previously, but there are so many now I've pretty much given up.

I've been saying all along the pirates are mad as heck, because they won't have their freebie BOB COD handed to them.

They have been driving moderators crazy with all their rampaging posts on this forums.

I'm glad others are beginning to see it.

Updates will go through steam so maintaining BOB COD will be difficult for them over the long run. Unless they are just set on getting it for free they would do better just to buy it. The workarounds will drive them nuts with all the patches we having coming over the next couple months.

I wouldn't worry about these things too much. Nowadays, certain measures are in place (as an above poster said, no cracks seem to work right now... bold move to admit such an attempt in the official forums, btw) and, while UBI is pretty much aware of nothing, this is certainly the exception. They are taking care of it - as all other software companies take care of piracy issues concerning their own software.

That doesn't bother me too much as a legitimate player.

It amazes me that people can spend hundreds/thousands of pounds for a new rig but can't fork out £30 for a game to play on it.

S!

Exactly Meusli. Many of the piewats have rigs in range of well above average yet they can not afford to buy a game. And you can waste that money easy in a pub for example, but Cliffs Of Dover just keps getting better

there must be at least a hundred of those videos of youtube! I reported a few but for every singe one I report, 2 videos will take its place!

Ummm... welcome to reality ? Don't worry though, as long as there is good multiplayer - the game will sell.

I by no means condone making dodgy copies and ripping people off, but it happens.

As CoD is covered by steam, I'd expect the torrent's will be the non-patched versions, not sure if they'll press newer versions, probably not. With that, the version will be of course out of date and shan't have the new content.

A lot of people that pirate a game will also be trying it out and if like it, buy it.

Maybe it's a cunning plan to release games that don't work very well to start with. :p
